Delicious recipe! -
This was very good. The seasonings in the rice mix worked well with the spinach. I used only about half the amount of cheese, and it seemed plenty cheesy. Also, I used a 6 oz. box of the rice mix; I'm not sure if the recipe amount is a typo; I've never seen a 16 oz. box of the rice mix. -
I used some leftover white rice, fresh spinach fried in leftover bacon grease, mozz and feta cheese. -
Very tasty. I had a package of mixed greens (turnip greens and kale) on hand so used that instead of the spinach. Also added a little more onion. The creaminess of the melted cheese really brought all the flavors together in a rich, but not too rich way.

I hate to bake (almost as much as I hate to vacuum!), and I'll go to great lengths to avoid having to make cookies.
