I made my mother's famous roast beef hash healthier by using cremini mushrooms instead of beef, and brown rice instead of potatoes. It's ideal for a light main dish. —Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

Test Kitchen tips
  • This is a great recipe to use up leftover rice, quinoa or roasted potatoes. You'll need about 2 cups in place of the package of ready-to-serve rice.
  • White button mushrooms can be used in place of baby portobello mushrooms, but the baby portobellos add a richer, more earthy flavor to the dish.
  • Health Tip: This is a great weeknight dinner or brunch option for anyone following a gluten-free diet.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 pound sliced baby portobello mushrooms
    • 1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
    • 1 package (8.8 ounces) ready-to-serve brown rice
