Notes

    • Don’t Skip the Foil: Covering the dish ensures the rice cooks evenly and absorbs all the flavors. Resist the urge to peek! The steam that’s created is what cooks the rice and releasing it is going to interrupt the cooking process.

    • Shred Your Cheese: Shred your own cheese for the best melt and flavor.

    • Try Other Veggies: Use any 12 ounces of frozen veggies – peas and carrots, mixed veggies, etc.
