I made this casserole in a slow cooker and it turned out great! I just cooked it on low for 6 hours and it was perfect.

The wild rice didn't cook evenly in this recipe. I think it would be better to cook the rice separately before adding it to the casserole.

This casserole is a little bland for my taste. I would add some extra spices next time.
