My mother in law makes this oven baked mushroom rice and it’s one of those perfect easy recipes!

Oven Baked Mushroom Rice Ingredients:

To make this dish you’ll need a few simple ingredients..

1. Persian rice is a long grain rice. you can also use Basmati rice!
2. onion soup mix gives this dish an incredible amount of flavor without emptying out the whole spice drawer. you can sub with mushroom soup mix or chicken bouillon if in a pinch
3. dried oregano. personally I prefer the greek variety but use what you have!
4. oil- olive oil or a seed oil of your choice
5. canned mushrooms. use sliced or button mushrooms WITH the liquids!

Tips for success:

This recipe requires minimal work on your part but there are a couple keys to success:

• Make sure to give the rice a mix after putting 20 minutes in the oven to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan
• I prefer this in a 9’13 pan (disposable if you want zero dishes), but it also works in a skillet(as pictured), just maybe don’t use a 12 inch like I did because then the rice layer isn’t as thick!
