One Pot Mushroom Rice
Easy peasy mushroom rice made in one pot. Really! Even the rice gets cooked right in! It’s so creamy and packed with so much flavor!
Guys, I’m in heaven.
Seriously. This rice is just everything, from flavors, to ease, to taste.
And it comes together in one. single. pot.
I kid you not – the uncooked rice gets cooked right in, letting all that mushroom juice soak right into that creamy glory, without any heavy cream or milk.
Amazing, right?
But don’t be fooled by the 50-minute cook time. Brown rice takes 40-45 minutes to cook through, and the prep time here is less than 10 minutes. I promise.
Now you can serve this as a side dish for all of your meals, but I actually just had this for lunch. By itself. With an extra serving.
No wait. Two extra servings. With crusty bread. And it was honestly one of the best lunches I have ever had.
One Pot Mushroom Rice
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¾ cup brown rice
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in mushrooms, Worcestershire and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5-6 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

- Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.

This tasted great, but a lot of the rice crisped and stuck to the bottom of the pot. Are you supposed to stir while it’s cooking?
You should not have to stir it – perhaps the heat source was set too high and/or there wasn’t enough liquid to begin with?
Delish! Family loved it, thank you!
Making this right now. I added chopped jalapeños.
I LOVE this recipe! Its so good I dream about it and can’t wait to make it for my friends & family. Then again, I haven’t found one of you’re recipes I don’t like 🙂 Keep up the good cooking Chungah!
This was delicious! I didn’t have any Worcestershire sauce so I subbed low sodium soy sauce and apple vinegar. Hubby asked if it was filled with cream and butter. 🙂
I am making it again this week for dinner! Thank you for the great recipe.
I want to make this right now but I only have beef broth and chicken broth. Would either of those work? Or will it throw off the taste. I’m leaning towards chicken broth cuz I’m going to serve it with chicken breast
I recommend using chicken broth.
Ive made this once already and have used chicken stock, as I’ve never kept veggie stock on hand. It was fabulous!
I made it with beef and it was the best rice I ever had
Made this with white rice and used the liquid measurements as listed in the recipe. It was not enough liquid so I added another 8 oz and continues to cool and it was still al dente.
Hi Chungah,
This looks delicious! I like your lunch idea for this recipe. Do you have any suggestions for a protein that can be thrown in and still keep the dish just as amazing?
Love your blog!
Thank you!
Chicken would be a great addition!
I used ssunflower seeds. Very tasty.
This looks sooooo super yummy. Would love to try this just now! One question: am I right that 6 servings are meant as a side dish?
Thanks so much and regards from Munich 🙂 Stefanie
Yes, that is correct!
does it store well overnight if refrigerated? i plan to make it the night before.
Yes, this reheats very well.
Does it freeze well for long term leftovers?
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment when making substitutions and modifications.
Eating my leftovers for lunch as we speak, and they’re perfect!
Could I use white rice if that’s what I have on hand?
Yes, absolutely! But cooking time will be significantly reduced, about 20-25 minutes.
I tried this tonight and it was delicious! Had to keep myself from reaching for a second portion.
I really liked how you used to have nutritional information for your recipes. Any chance of bringing that back?
Nutritional information is provided only for select and new recipes at this time. However, if it is not available for a specific recipe, I recommend using free online resources at your discretion (you can Google “nutritional calculator”) to obtain such information.
I added some shredded chicken and topped with a sunny side up .It was wonderful! Now my hubby is asking if he can have this for dinner everyday! 😀
Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
I made this for dinner last night and it was great! My recipe turned out much darker than yours and I used Minute Rice brown rice, so it was ready in about 20 minutes. Will definitely make again!
I would like to try this as it sounds amazing, but will be trying it in my electric pressure cooker to reduce the cooking time (10 minutes for long grain brown rice according to my cooking chart), the rest can be done exactly as instructed. Has anyone tried it that was or does anyone have any suggestions before I try this version?
Did you end up trying this? I’m curious how it turned out in the pressure cooker!
Made this last night and was delicious but the brown rice I used turned out al dente. Did you use a long, medium or short grain brown rice?
I used long grain brown rice. You can always extend cooking time as needed to ensure that the rice is completely cooked through.
Yeah I had the same thing. I also notice that its not enough veggie broth… I kept having to add some to it so the rice wouldnt burn. Am I doing something wrong? On to high maybe?
Me too. Not nearly enough liquid.
I agree, I ended up using twice the amount of broth and cooking it longer than instructed and the rice was still not cooked .
yes! I also agree… just made this and still adding more liquid to cook the rice. Not near enough broth. I used long grain brown rice
Pinning right this very minute!!! I love one pot meals and this one look amazing!
This rice looks great, so I’ll make this Saturday. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Cliche but have to say looks Damn Delicious !! Two of our favorite food choices. I’m making this recipe on the weekend. Thanks for sharing
This looks like such an easy and yummy side dish. Love that it is free of milk/cream!
