Rice - Tomato Casserole
This is like Spanish Rice, but includes cheese and makes for more protein. kids love it. There is another version with chicken. Just saute about a pound of boneless, chopped chicken breasts, then proceed with the recipe. At the end, instead of baking, leave everything in the saute pan, add the rest of the sauce and the cheese. Then cover the pan and let it sit until the cheese melts.
