This is easy and filling. Next time I might add more cheese and a few more spices, including some garlic.

The whole family enjoyed this. I used frozen soybeans and red bell pepper instead of green. Thanks for a healthy, economical and quick dinner.

I was amazed at how good this was! I didn't realize it would be buffed-up spanish rice when I put it together. I used ground turkey and tomato sauce. Try it and be surprised!
