Mushroom Doria (Mushroom Rice Casserole)

Doria, a staple of Japanese home-cooking, is a marvelously comforting rice casserole covered in a bubbling layer of creamy béchamel sauce topped with a crisp sheet of browned cheese. For this recipe, I've mashed up Doria with Green Bean Casserole to come up with an easy make-ahead dish that's perfect for an autumn potluck or holiday feast.
