Rice - Tomato Casserole

"This is like Spanish Rice, but includes cheese and makes for more protein. kids love it. There is another version with chicken. Just saute about a pound of boneless, chopped chicken breasts, then proceed with the recipe. At the end, instead of baking, leave everything in the saute pan, add the rest of the sauce and the cheese. Then cover the pan and let it sit until the cheese melts."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a psychotherapist who decided to start cooking creatively after years of resistance. I cook primarily vegetarian but cook with other ingredients when my family complains too much. I'm the mother of 3 sons, two of whom are grown, and I've been married since 1978. I cringe when I think back on the cooking my poor husband valliantly endured when we were first married. I collect cookbooks and frequent the thrift shops in my area for unusual finds. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
