Thank you for posting this! I was just about to post it myself, because I made it using Mrs. Wilkses' cookbook and LOVED it. She suggests adding 2 tbsp of grated Parmesan on top, and she says that you may also add a pound of cooked shrimp, ham, sausage, or pork. I plan to make a batch tomorrow with some ham. :-) Thank you!! -
I've dined many times at Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House and her red rice is one of my favorites. This recipe is to die for if you are a red rice fan. Thanks for posting!
