Really a very good recipe~I had some leftover rice & it came together very quickly. I didn't expect it to taste as good as it did. I will be keeping the recipe and making again.

A little trashy and sinful, but I'll be making it again. I subsituted fresh, chopped garlic for the powder and threw in some bread crumbs for good measure. It ended up being a little more "meat-loafy," but still delicious. I can feel a heart-attack coming on. Thanks! ;)

We made this exactly as written, and there wasn't a crumb left! Great recipe, fast, easy and delicious.
