Ingredients
2 C. Boiling Water1 C Uncooked Wild Rice1-10.5oz. Can Chicken Gumbo Soup1 Can Sliced mushrooms, undrained1/2 C Water1 Bay Leaf1 t. Salt1/4 t Celery Salt1/4 t Garlic SaltPaprikaBlack Pepper1/4 t Onion Salt3 T. Chopped Onions3 T. Olive Oil1 Lb. Lean Ground Beef
Directions
Pour boiling water over rice; cover and let stand 15 minutes. Drain; place in 3-qt. casserole. Add soup, mushrooms, water & seasonings. Mix gently; let stand a few minutes. Saute onion in oil until glossy; add to casserole. Add meat to oil remaining in pan; fry until brown & crumbly. Add to rice; cover. Bake @ 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

NOTE: Mixture may be refrigerated and baked for 2 hours when needed.

NOTE: I usually put in slow cooker and cook on high until it's done then reduce to low.

NOTE: This recipe can be easily changed to diet by using reduced sodium chicken gumbo soup, frying the onions with the beef and omitting the oil and some people might want to use ground turkey instead of beef. Any way you cook it, this casserole is the bomb.
