Ingredients
- 8 ounces Uncle Ben’s fast-cooking long grain & wild rice
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup or use recipe for “cream of anything soup.“

Instructions
Prepare wild rice mix according to package directions. This casserole is best if the rice is not overdone as it will cook a bit more as the casserole bakes. Watch it carefully and pull it as soon as it’s done.
Meanwhile, saute onions and celery (in a large pan) in the butter until they are softened. Add the soup, sour cream, wine, water chestnuts and curry and warm through. Add in the poultry and the prepared wild rice and gently stir.
Place in casserole and bake at 350 degrees for 25 – 35 minutes, stirring once, if desired, about halfway through. After stirring, top with chopped or slivered almonds or chopped pecans if using.
