Serves 6-8
This is great with any vegetables you like.
Spinach is great. I also like it with broccoli florets and some thin slices of red peppers.
Use your imagination.
2 Tbl olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced
3 cups sliced mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups spinach
4 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups skim milk
2 Tbl flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, or any cheese you like.
Preheat to 375.
In skillet, saute onions, mushrooms, garlic in olive oil until cooked, but not browned.
Add spinach and cook until wilted.
Pour rice mixture into a greased 8x8 or 8x12 baking dish.
In the same skillet, combine milk and flour. Cook and whisk until thick.
Stir in salt, pepper.
Pour the white sauce over rice mixture and stir together.
Top with cheese.
Bake about 20-30 minutes until hot and bubbly and cheese is melty and slightly browned.
