I was in the mood for some carbs and this was a tasty carb quencher. The flavorings made it better than some blander rice dishes I've had.

We thoroughly enjoyed this dish. The mustard and worcstersnire is a wonderful addition. The instructions did not say when to add the worcestershire, so I added it along with the onions and butter etc. This is a great cheesy rice dish that I look forward to preparing again. Thanks so much, Kittencal.
