WAHOO! This was GREAT! Made it for the first time to take to a covered-dish Super Bowl party--it was a huge hit with both men and women. I didn't have a mirliton on hand, so I used a medium zucchini, chopped and parboiled, instead. Then I used the zucchini water to cook the rice. Everyone just gobbled it up. Thanks for sharing a terrific recipe!

We were looking for a good comfort food. This is a winner. Easy, & flavorful. I’m not a fan of garlic salt & garlic salt. I used buck seasoning. I also used cream of celery. This heats up nicely too. I added a little extra liquid before adding the cream of. We both agreed to add roasted hatch chiles next time. Thanks!
