A convenient packaged rice mix gives a jump start to this simple side dish from Helen Jacobs of Canton, Michigan. A bright blend of veggies adds color, and the cost - only 52 cents per serving - is easy on your budget.

    I am not much of a rice eater but this is excellent. Instead of chopping the peppers and onions, I used the ones that are frozen. It cuts down the prep. time so I always keep them on hand.
