Veal & Wild Rice Casserole
Description
This hearty Veal and Wild Rice Casserole is a comforting classic that transforms simple ingredients into a luxurious meal. The dish features tender cubes of boneless veal sauted until golden, then combined with a luscious sauce of mushroom soup, sour cream, and sherry. Nutty wild rice provides a satisfying texture, while chopped onions and celery add aromatic depth. Topped with sharp Romano cheese, it bakes into a cohesive, creamy casserole that is both elegant and homey. Perfect for family dinners, holiday gatherings, or when you need a robust main course that feels special without requiring complex techniques. The savory umami flavors of the mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce balance the richness of the dairy, creating a well-rounded dish that pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or crusty bread.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
-
In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup margarine over medium-high heat. Add veal cubes and saut until lightly browned on all sides. Drain excess fat and set veal aside.
-
In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons margarine. Add chopped onion and celery; saut until tender and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked wild rice, undiluted mushroom soup, sour cream, sliced mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, sherry, and salt. Mix well.
-
Fold the browned veal and sauted vegetable mixture into the rice mixture. Stir gently until evenly combined.
-
Spoon the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle grated Romano cheese evenly over the top.
-
Bake uncovered for 1 hour, or until heated through and the cheese is bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
