One of our favorites. Easy, quick, and left overs are great.

I agree with the other comment that there isn't enough liquid to cook a cup of rice. I ended up adding a cup or so of leftover cooked rice instead and that worked out fine.

I live at an elevation of 6200 ft There isn't enough fluid to cook a cup of rice. I'm going to try to modify the recipe as I like all the ingredients
