  • 1 small sweet onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions
  1. In a medium Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook until browned. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to Dutch oven.

  2. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
