This is a great adaptable recipe, I used white rice & added capsicum & mushrooms to the mix of veggies, just used traditional pasta sauce, topped with grated tasty cheese, & it was great. A simple yet tasty side that can easily be made ahead of time & reheated. Fantastic, thanks! -
Yumm! This turned out really tasty and it is so easy to make as well. What else could I ask for? I made some minor changes, such as using mixed grains rather than plain rice and used a home-made sauce I happened to have on hand in the freezer. This simple recipe can be played around with, I'm sure, and I am so happy to have this in our rotation. Thank you for posting it and for suggesting it to me in one of the forums!

I LOVE to cook and bake nearly everything!
I HATE to see people join the site, have no published recipes, but rag on another cook in a review on a recipe they haven't even tried or didn't follow.
Oh, and I hate cilantro, too. :)
