There’s a cookbook that has been in just about every kitchen in my family for nearly four decades! \u00a0All of us go to it time and again for great dishes for our little family meals, family gatherings, holidays, potlucks, \u00a0and friends in need. \u00a0It’s called Pines and Plantations ~ Native recipes from Thomasville, Georgia. \u00a0Thomasville is my dad’s hometown, and it’s a very special place in so many ways!<\/p>\n

So, it wasn’t unusual when I got out my Pines and Plantations the other day to make something tasty for dinner. \u00a0In the very back of the book I have written down recipes we liked a lot as a quick reminder. \u00a0One that stood out that afternoon was Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole! \u00a0I would like to share the recipe with you. \u00a0You may notice I have altered it ever so slightly. \u00a0It makes a 4-qt casserole. \u00a0The great thing about it is you can divide it up and freeze it! \u00a0Hope you give it a try! \u00a0Oh! \u00a0I almost forgot the Savannah Rolls! \u00a0Made those, too! \u00a0Yum!<\/p>\n

Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>1 cup wild rice
\n1\/2 cup onion, chopped
\n1\/2 cup butter
\n1\/4 cup flour
\n1 – 6oz. can sliced mushrooms
\nChicken broth
\n1 – 1\/2 cups skim milk
\n3\u00a0cups cooked chicken, diced
\n1 T. \u00a0pimento, diced
\n2 T. parsley, snipped
\nsalt to taste
\n1\/4 t. pepper
\n1\/2 cup sliced almonds<\/p>\n

Cook the rice (Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice with herb seasoning may be substituted—this is what I do, and I use 2 packages), and set it aside when done. \u00a0Melt butter in a very large pan or Dutch oven; \u00a0add onion and cook until tender, but don’t brown. \u00a0Remove from heat; stir in flour. \u00a0Drain liquid from mushrooms into a 2 cup measuring cup. \u00a0To this liquid add enough chicken broth to measure 1 – 1\/2 cups total; \u00a0slowly stir into flour mixture. \u00a0Add milk and cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens. \u00a0Now, add the rice, mushrooms, chicken, pimento, parsley, and pepper. \u00a0This is the time to taste and see if you want to add salt. \u00a0I do not add it. \u00a0Combine. \u00a0Grease a 4 qt casserole and pour mixture into dish. \u00a0Sprinkle with almonds. \u00a0Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbly. \u00a0OR you can divide into smaller dishes; cover and freeze until needed.<\/p>\n

Savannah Rolls<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>3 1\/2 cups Bisquick
\n3 T. sugar
\n1 -12ounce beer<\/p>\n

Mix ingredients well and spoon into greased muffin tin. \u00a0Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 – 18 minutes. \u00a0Makes 18 rolls.<\/p>\n
