Note

If using fresh mushrooms, you may need to add a little extra water (about 1/4 cup) to ensure the rice cooks properly.

For a lighter version, substitute turkey breast for pork and use low-fat soups.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or water chestnuts for extra crunch and flavor.
