EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For a crunchy topping, don't mix the almonds in with the other ingredients. Instead, sprinkle the almonds over the casserole 10 minutes before it's done baking.

1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained, can be substituted for the fresh mushrooms.

Tuna-Rice Casserole: Substitute 1 can (12 1/2 ounces) tuna, drained, for the chicken.

Turkey-Wild Rice Casserole: Substitute 2 cups cut-up cooked turkey for the chicken, and wild rice for the white rice.

I have been making this recipe for years and it is a favorite with the family. I usually substitute chopped carrots for the mushrooms, peppers. This is a great recipe for left over rice, chicken, or turkey.

This was easy and very tasty. I did not use green peppers or pimentos but used corn and garnished with French's cheddar cheese fried onions. So yummy. Next time, I might play around with this great basic recipe and make some variations by adding some spice, garlic and maybe some bacon. This recipe would definitely hit the spot on a cold winter day, served with a salad any maybe some fresh warm corn bread. I love Betty Crocker!
