This was pure comfort food on a cold night. I read the directions up to "Cook rice ..." and realized afterwards I wasn't supposed to cook it with the seasoning packet (I used Uncle Ben's Vegetable and Herb Wild Rice). I thought that it was very good and wonder if it wouldn't have been bland without it. Was thinking of using the roasted garlic (and adding garlic) or wild mushroom version (with seasoning packet) next time. Since I used the seasoning packet I skipped the salt and pepper but ended up using some at the table.
I also used skim milk instead of 2% and regular sour cream instead of what was called for (all I had). I added an extra 8 oz package of mushrooms that I had in the refrigerator and would use 2 packages next times as well. I made it Sunday night (didn't eat it then) and reheated portions Monday after work, so it reheats well. Thick and creamy.
The topping I'm sure would have been better out-of-the oven. Cheesy, not really a bread crumb topping; understandable since you only use 1 ounce.
And, since it isn't after Thanksgiving yet, I used turkey gravy from a jar (shhh)
A make again in this house.
