"I came up with this last night when I needed a quick side dish for our pork chop dinner. It's incredibly fast to prepare and very tasty, the kids loved it! Next time, I think I'll add some diced, grilled chicken and make it a meal in one!"

Very good for a simple meal for a busy stressful day - it is also a great way to use up leftovers at the end of the week as this recipe is very adaptable for leftovers. We added some leftover barbecue pork to the recipe and it was very good, although I think leftover chicken may be a better choice next time. Thanks for sharing!
