Cooking Mommy: Rice Casserole

Rice Casserole

This was originally my Nana's recipe and modified a little by my Mom. It only has 3 ingredients, and it's so yummy, and so simple. This is great served with Crock-pot roast.

Ingredients
1 cup rice
1 can of french onion soup
1 can beef broth or beef consomme

Directions
Spray small casserole dish. Strain onions out of french onion soup, and just put the broth part into the casserole dish (this part is optional. I don't care for onions, so I strain them out and throw them away, but if you like onions, by all means, leave them in and just dump the whole can in). Add the rice and beef broth to the casserole and stir. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Allergies and Intolerances

My son, Daniel previously had allergies to egg whites and peanuts. I am lactose intolerant. My nephews have allergies to many foods. I will try my best to label things to help those with allergies since I know it's difficult finding recipes sometimes when someone in your home has common food allergies. Make sure you check labels yourself. If it's marked soy-free or nut-free, it only means it doesn't have the soy or nut protein in it, not necessarily the oils. Look for dairy-free, egg-free, gluten/wheat-free, nut-free, and soy-free labels.

Egg replacements

If you need an egg free recipe, I have some great egg replacements. Now these really won't work in recipes that require a lot of eggs, like a meringue or cheesecake, but they do work well in most recipes I've ever tried.

Egg replacement #1: use 1 Tbsp ground flax seed and 3 Tbsp of water in place of 1 egg. Why this works? I don't know, but flax seed is extremely healthy for you, full of lots of omega fatty acids, so this is my preferred substitute.

Egg replacement #2: Boil 1 cup of water and 1 packet of unflavored gelatin together. In it's liquid state, use 3 1/2 Tbsp of this in place of 1 egg.

I have found sometimes one works better than the other. The flax seed seems to work better overall, I believe, but my mother-in-law made Christmas cookies with the gelatin and you couldn't even tell the difference.
