Wild Rice and Shrimp (or chicken) Casserole

Ingredients:
1lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (or you can do chicken)
8 oz. wild rice
2 Tblsp butter
1/2 green pepper chopped (I don't add these)
1/2 onion chopped
1 can cream of mushroom
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
salt and pepper

Cook the rice according to package directions minus 1/4 cup water. Drain and cool.

Bring 2 cups water and 1/2 tablespoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan and cook the shrimp for 1 minute. Drain immediately and set aside.

Heat the butter in saucepan and saute the pepper and onion until soft, about 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the rice, soup, 1 1/2 cups of cheese, shrimp and vegetables. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well. Spray a 9-inch square aluminum cake pan or an 11 by 7-inch glass casserole dish with vegetable spray. Place the mixture in the pan and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes, until bubbly.

If you're not a shrimp lover, you can replace the shrimp with shredded chicken.
It is so delicious!!!
