This was really easy and very good -- I used both canned and fresh mushrooms, plus fresh parsley and dried parsley flakes -- it turned out great. We'll make it again!

I took the time to read the reviews before I made this and I think I made a compromise that could help those who didn't care for it. I sauteed the rice (I used basmatti) in a little olive oil and butter till it was translucent, thus cooking it a bit. I than used 2 cups of chicken broth instead of the 1 cup of vegetable broth called for. I also used marjoram instead of oregano, majoram has a similar flavor but is a bit "mellower" and more rounded. I than covered it with foil as it cooked and it came out perfect. Oh, and I also lowered the cooking temp to 375 and cooked it for the time indicated. I think with these small tweaks this recipe is really wonderful and was well liked by myself and my family!

After reading all the reviews, it became apparent the recipe writer meant to use minute rice,not long cooking rice. Adjusting the water for regular rice and covering it makes a world of difference. Tasty enough for you to try, just alter the water depending on if you have quick rice or regular rice

Wonderful. I put in chopped leftover steak and had it for a main dish and then a side dish later. Even the kids loved it and getting them to appreciate rice isn't easy!

When cooking rice, the liquid to rice ratio is 2:1, or 2 c. liquid for every 1 c. rice. Since the recipe calls for 2 c. rice, I used 4 c. water and just added 2 bouillion cubes. I cooked the rice on the stovetop, sauteed the onions and mushrooms, and then combined everything with the soup and parsley, salt, and pepper. I omitted the oregano. I served without baking since everything was heated by the hot rice. I enjoyed it the way I cooked it but the recipe is definitely off a little.

I was so glad to read that others had trouble with it. I was making it for a party and had no time to nurse it along. It turned out horrible. Well, live and learn, I feel better knowing I was not the only one. Thanks tho.

Very flavorful, but DRY! COVER THE DISH TO BAKE!!! Next time, I'll also add a whole can of vegetable broth instead of just 1 cup. It's a good recipe though.

I made this for thanksgiving, and it was awsome! I made it as directed, but added more mushrooms and used chicken broth instead of vegetable, as i couldn't find the vegetable...I forgot to add the butter, and put in on last-minute while in the oven-added alittle more of the herbs, too...Had to add an extra cup of water, and stirred it occasionally to mix around the liquids-this is as good as, or better than pre-packaged rice, and uses ingredients i always have handy! It takes alittle watching, but its worth it! ~Kelly

The flavor of this recipe was okay, but I didn't care for the texture of the final product. Oh well, nice try anyway.

This smells really great when it's cooking but was a bit of a disappointment to eat. The spices sort of overpower the taste. My boyfriend loved it though.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only who had trouble with this recipe. The rice got dried out and I had to add water at least 3 times and continue waiting while my chicken was sitting on the stove getting cold. It was not really very tasty either. Never again!

Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews of this rice and made it according to the directions; as a result I ended up with very uncooked rice. I had to eventually transfer it onto the stove, add 2 cups water, and cover. After all that, it still was very mediocre and husband did not touch it.

Sorry, I didn't like this at all. I found the mushroom soup to be overpowering. But that's not really the recipe's fault, I just don't usually like cream of mushroom soup. I think I might try this again with cream of cheddar soup or something as the recipe does seem like it has potential. I'll let you know how that turns out!

Well, this really didn't work for me. After reading other reviews, I added 1 1/2 cups broth and baked at a lower temperature. It still came out crunchy and dry as a bone. I will not make again.

I'm sad to say this one did not work for us. I pre-cooked the rice (as others have suggested) and added some garlic into the mixture. Although it cooked great (and looked great) it was a blend of tastes that we did not enjoy. I can't put my finger on it but something about this recipe just doesn't taste right. I can't say what spices should be used but I don't think oregano or parsley should have been one of them. Thanks anyways.

This recipe needs a lot of changes. I followed the previous suggestions and cooked this dish on the stove top instead of baking. If you cook this recipe the way it is written, then you'll end up with a dish full of crunchy rice that gets thrown in the trash. You need to use 3 cups of water plus the cup of broth and mushroom soup when making this dish or you rice will not get cooked! I just used a skillet and put 1 cup of water, 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 2 cups of Arborio rice, a whole package of chopped mushrooms, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 tsp dried parsley, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion poswder, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, and 3 tbsp of butter. I like my food spicy, so those spices might not work for everyone. I let is simmer about 10 minutes then added another cup of water, then let it simmer 10 more minutes and added another cup of water, then I let it simmer 10 more minutes. So I cooked the rice a total of 30 minutes and then let it sit for 5. It was okay as a side dish with my lemon chicken, but this would not work as a main dish for me.

I followed the reviews from other members and cooked the rice first. I used parboiled rice, and left a little bit of water that had not absorbed in lieu of the broth since the rice did not need to cook. The recipe was very easy and tasty, maybe add some cheese next time.
