Love it!
Quick affordable and DELICIOUS recipe. My husband and I loved it!
I plan on making this tonight! Just curious if you could mix rice in with it. Do you think it would cook with just the liquids already in the recipe? Looking for a one dish kind of meal rather than making it on the side!
Hmm, I haven’t tried that Laurie. But it should work. If adding rice, I would recommend adding additional liquids so it cooks thoroughly.
