Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Clean and slice the button mushrooms into thin pieces.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the saucepan and cook for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, water, and milk. Mix well to create a creamy base.
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan, followed by the salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Raise the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside your favorite protein. Enjoy!
