This was just delicious. I misread the directions and stirred the cheese in, but it still worked out fine.

OK, I sincerely enjoyed this casserole on day 1. But as my hubby said, this is the kind of meal that tastes even better on day 2 so I can't WAIT for the leftovers tomorrow!!! I made it exactly as written. Awesome stuff. Loved the rice "crust". I used 1 bag of Uncle Ben's Ready Whole Grain Medley (wild and brown rice) which was exactly 2 cups. I also used a combo of red, yellow and orange bell peppers for color. I cut mine into 6 nice portions, perfect size for a main entree with a tomato salad on the side. So easy and so tasty. Will make this again. Make for PHOTO TAG. THANKS!!!
