Margolies' Sticky Rice

This one is as easy as it is delicious. It should serve 4 easily.

1 large jar canned mushrooms
1.5 cups long grain white rice
2 cans beef consomme
2 cans French onion soup
1 stick of butter

Preheat oven to 400º F.

In a 2-3 quart casserole dish, mix together all ingredients. Cover tightly and throw it into the oven. Check after 60 minutes and if the rice isn't sticky yet, keep it in another 30 minutes.

I'm not even going to bother retyping it, when Bon Appétit has already done such a great job for me. :)

The only modification I made is to the sauce – I liberally added Duke's mayonnaise, because Duke's is all you are allowed to use when you live in The South™...
