This recipe really lacked any specific flavor. I think that it needed some herbs to bring out some flavor. Thanks for letting me try it.

I got this recipe several years ago from ToH Magazine. It is my #1 favorite to bring to a pot luck supper. I've brought it many, many times and have always had an empty dish! This one rocks!

A taste treat for the palate - the smokey flavor of ham, the sweetness of pineapple, the mellow richness of Swiss. A complete meal, and one I make often.

I made this recipe yesterday,I just jasmine rice, my husband really liked it. I thought it was bland, it was missing something. But I will most likely make it again for my husband.

You could certainly substitute potatoes for the rice.  Just cut 3 cups of potatoes in 1/2" cubes so that they get fully cooked.

I was wondering if you could substitute potaoes for the rice, since I don't like rice?
