Tip

Shred and Freeze Cheese

It’s usually cheaper to buy cheese in blocks than in shredded form. So I purchase large quantities of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella, then shred them myself in my food processor. I store the shredded cheese in the freezer in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags, so I have it at my fingertips whenever it’s needed. —Evelyn O., Parma, Ohio

My kids loved this recipe! It was very simple to make and took less than 20 minutes to cook. I increased the amount of cumin to 1 tsp and used long grain rice (that I cooked in a rice cooker) instead of the instant rice and low sodium beef broth. I will be making this recipe often busy nights.
