2 c. rice
1 stick butter
fresh assorted vegetables
1 can mushrooms and stems (optional)
1 bag shredded cheese (any kind)
onion (optional)

Boil rice until soft and drain. Put a half stick of butter in rice for seasoning and to keep moist. Chop up vegetables and saut them in pan with butter When vegetables are almost soft, add your rice. Mix together. In a casserole pan, add a layer of rice and vegetables and sprinkle over with shredded cheese. Keep doing this until you don't have any more rice and vegetables left. Then put the last layer with cheese.

You can use the oven or microwave. For the oven, bake at 350°F until cheese is melted, about 1 to 3 minutes. Microwave on High for about 1 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. You can use this as a side dish with any meat.
