Well, this is a good base recipe, but as is it was disappointing. We were glad to have some katsup in the fridge... my hubby said with out it he would have rated it a 2 but with it it's a 4. It just seemed to be lacking something. I am not giving up, though! Next time I will be adding garlic, way more cheese and some more seasonings. -
Next time I will use about half the amount of spinach, it was a bit over-powering. I used a flavored rice and that seemed to save the dish for me. -
An excellent quick and easy dish that has all the major food groups in one pan! My husband and I loved it.
