  • “This was very good and certainly added to the wild rice.The prep time was longer as was the cooking time. I would not use green pepper again, perhaps red pepper and only one onion. The bacon is a nice touch. Very flavorful.”

  • “Excellent!”

  • “YUMMY! I just joined and made this recipe with the Brined Roast Pheasant “Wisconsin” style from the site. They were so good together.I didn’t have time to get to my normal store, so wasn’t able to get true wild rice. I used a mix of wild and white. It still turned out great. I used half baby portabella mushrooms and half white mushrooms. Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe. I’ll definitely use it again.”

  • “This was good, but I had to adjust the amounts slightly to suit our tastes, it needed some fresh garlic and a jalapeno pepper for some heat, this was fairly easy to put together as I keep cooked wild rice in my freezer to have ready to use in recipes, thanks MG!…Kitten:)”

  • “We really enjoyed this dish. It has a nice combination of ingredients and smells good while it is cooking. I made it earlier in the day through step 9 and then baked it for dinner, which also worked well.Thanks for posting.”
