Spinach Rice Casserole

Spinach RIce Casserole by Cora

1 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon olive or canola oil
1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice
4 cups chicken broth
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach, torn
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese

Directions
In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add rice; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add broth and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the spinach, salt and pepper; cook until spinach is wilted.
Transfer to a 2-qt. baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover and bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender. (Last night I added chicken and mushrooms before adding the rice and it turned into a great main course)
