This has been comfort food for me since I was a kid. I now cook for my kids and they ask for it all the time.

I have been making this recipe since the 80’s when I clipped it out of a magazine. I have used long grain in the past and also basmati just recently. Everyone loves this recipe. I do saute my mushrooms ahead of time so they get nice and golden. Wonderful recipe !
