Spicy Mushroom Rice Recipe

white rice

butter

shallot, sliced

jalapeno, diced

marsala wine

soy sauce

salt

1/4teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Start by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add in the sliced mushrooms and let brown, stirring, for 10 minutes.

Next add the shallot, jalapeño, salt and pepper and let cook for another minute or two.

Deglaze the skillet with the marsala wine and let reduce for 2 minutes.

Add the soy sauce and stir, then add the cooked rice.

Stir together and then season with more salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Simple and tasted amazing! Decided to cook for the wife for a change and she couldn't stop complimenting me. Thank you! =)

Delicious! I cooked it for dinner and everyone loved it! Congrats and thanks!

Don't wash mushrooms. They absorb water which makes them harder to brown. Put them in a dish towel or bag and gently shake the dirt off. Great recipe. Looks delicious.

Just made this but added ground sausage to the mix. Omg so good, using the leftovers to stuff some butternut squash! This will be a fall staple.

Thank You! for the fabulous recipe. Had a bad craving for the old TGIF's black beans &amp; rice from years ago. This fits the bill, taste almost like it with a little heat added. Then again my husband picked up serrano peppers instead of Jalepeno. DELICIOUS any way. Taste bud happy dance!

I've mad this recipe a ciuple of times. The first one exactly like the recipe states. The second I added an item to add a slight crunch to give it some more texture. They were both excellant! I just wish I could remember the crunchy ingredient. LOL!

Made this for a potluck. It was really good. Did buy a good Marsala, not the grocery store stuff, I agree that is the key.

I have been making this for several years now and everyone loves it. I make it just as the recipe says except that I always double it. Amazing side dish.

Hi Dan, I made this today, WINNER !!!! Agree with you and will add additional jalapeño next time, great recipe, thanks so much

I love this recipe, especially the mushrooms. My husband loves sautéed mushrooms on his steak so this will be my go to recipes from now on. My only criticism would be that I found it to be a little salty, but that’s a very personal preference.  Reheats nicely.

Being from Louisiana, this is basically rice with soy sauce. Not impChelebaileyley1ileyressed.  Without the seasoning I added, it has to bland. But hey, to each her own....we like food with kick. This ain't it.

Just made this side dish for dinner tonight, and it is delicious! I had to leave the kitchen to stop from tasting and nibbling. It’s not too spicy, but leaves a little kick behind with every bite. Thank you for sharing; this one is a keeper!

Dan,
I stumbled on this recipe looking for a side dish.  I followed the recipe  but used chicken broth as I didn’t have marsala wine.  It was sooooo very good!   It tasted phenomenal the next day.
I just recently  made it again and added bacon and let me tell you, the flavors of everything just popped.  
This is the most simplest side dish recipe I’ve made that can be tweaked but tastes wonderful any which way you add to it.
I always double it!
Thank you so much for this great recipe that I make quite often!

Using your slow-cooker is the easiest way to make loaded potatoes.

Loaded Slow-Cooker Potatoes

Cooking spray

c. shredded Cheddar

garlic,

bacon, cooked

green onions,

paprika

kosher salt

black pepper

Sour cream, drizzling

What type of potato do you most often cook?

Excellent recipe! I didn't have time for slow cooker so I used oven. Added a little butter on top. Cooked at 350 for 1.5 hours. Opened foil and added cheese on top. Left foil open and put back in oven for 5 minutes to melt cheese. Thank you for sharing 😊

followed the recipe as is; however, I used The Little Potato Company Dynamic Duo Creamer Potatoes, 1.5 lbs and then ended up with only one layer. now, I did mix in the salt, pepper and some oil with my hands rather than layering onto the potatoes, then added cheese and the other toppings.

I kept in the slow cooker for around 4.5 hrs on high and then turned down to warm until I was ready to eat and the potatoes were fully cooked through.

Was very nice. I cooked it for 5 hours on low but will shorten the cooking time in future. It was a little overdone.

Made as recipe said, and it turned out delicious! Thank you! Will definitely make again :)

Great recipe but for my crock the cook time was way off. Cooked on high for 5 hours and everything ended up burned.

Yummy recipe!! I followed recipe as is and cooked on high for 2 hours and on low for 30 minutes and potatoes were fully cooked.

For the potatoes it says "halved AND quartered". First, do i half the quarters or should i quarter the halves? Second, do you think if i keep asking questions like this, i can get my wife to snap and make it for me?

If I were ever to do this recipe again I would bake in oven at 350. Or not line slow cooker with foil.

I made it for a shower and planned it to be done about a half hour before I needed it. It was done in less than 2 hours. I had to set it on warm for the rest of the time. The cheese was burnt to the sides. It was overcooked and didn't look the best, but the flavor was good. With cheese and bacon how can you go wrong. I would try it on low for 4 hours next time.

I make this a lot! I also put about 2 cups of ham at bottom of crock pot. Or a couple cups of bacon stores into the potatoes is really good. I use which ever potatoes I have on hand. Lots of cheese right before i serve it.  It's a never fail dish!  And a great one to freeze leftovers and have it in a meal pinch!

Hosted Father's Day dinner and was nervous to try a new recipe for such an important family first. These were ah-mazing! I omitted the garlic and used garlic powder instead and forgot the onions; also used butter-flavored cooking spray on the foil and a glob on butter that melted in througj the middle - #comfort #delicious #MakingAgainSoon!

The best thing about comfort food is not actually have to cook it.

Loaded Slow-Cooker Potatoes Is The Side That Won't Take Up Valuable Oven Space

Crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, these baked potatoes come out perfectly every time in your Ninja Foodi or air fryer.

Ninja Foodi Baked Potatoes

russet potatoes (washed well)

olive oil

Use a fork to poke holes all over each potato.

Use a basting brush or your fingers to rub olive oil all over the outside of each potato. Sprinkle salt all over the outside of each potato, and place into crisper basket in the Ninja Foodi.

Set Foodi to &#39;air crisp&#39; at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-45 minutes (use the shorter cook time for smaller potatoes and the longer cook time for larger potatoes), or until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork and the skins are crispy.

Serve with sour cream, butter, chives, cheese, or your other favorite baked potato toppings!
