1
Prepare Mushrooms first.
-
2
combine onion, garlic, tomatoes, vinegar and spices.
-
3
Stuff mushroom caps making sure all ingredients are included in each cap.
-
4
Set these aside till casserole is ready to be cooked, add in leftover stuffing to the mix below.
-
5
Preheat oven to 375 degrees, then prepare casserole.
-
6
Uses a large casserole dish w/lid (or possibly a 9x13x2 baking dish and tinfoil).
-
7
Stir together rice and both cans of beans (I use canned for the extra liquid).
-
8
Its easier to stir the tomatoes, onion and garlic together first then add in them to the pan (this is where I add in the leftover mushroom ingredients).
-
9
Pour Balsamic vinegar over entire pan, fold in with basil and oregano.
-
10
If you're using instant rice, you may need about 1/2 c. vegetable stock for moisture.
-
11
Flatten casserole down and create beds for the mushrooms on top.
-
12
(I have added fresh carrot chunks and/or possibly zucchini chunks along the top layer of this to be steamed with everything else, besides being WAY too much food, it was great!)
-
13
Cover dish and bake for 35-40 min.
-

If the original dish is moist sufficient, it reheats wonderfully for lunch the next day, but I've found which there are NEVER leftover mushrooms to take to work ;-)
