Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Baked Wild Rice & Carrots


rice

1 1/2 cup wild rice, rinsed in cold water
2 1/2 cup water
2 1/2 teaspoon salt
4 strips bacon cut into strips
1 onion, peeled and chopped
4 mushrooms, chopped
1 cup finely grated carrots
1/2 cup light cream
1 egg

Place the wild rice, water, and salt in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil Boil vigorously for about 10 minutes. Turn off heat, cover, and let rice stand for about 20 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed. Brown the bacon, remove from drippings, and drain on paper towels. Saute the onions and mushrooms in the bacon drippings until the onions are golden and transparent. Mix the bacon, sauted onions and mushrooms, and grated carrots into the wild rice. Beat the cream and egg until light, and fold into the wild rice mixture. Bake, covered, in a buttered 1 1/2 quart casserole in a moderately slow oven, 325 degrees F, for 30 minutes. Remove cover, stir the mixture well with a fork, bake for 15 minutes at the same temperature. Stir once again and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes longer.
