Kraft Kitchens Tips

Special Extra

For more Mexican flavor, stir in 1 to 2 tsp. ground cumin with the rice.

How to Store Long-Stemmed Fresh Herbs

Place long-stemmed fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro and dill, in a tall glass with the stem ends down. Fill with an inch of cold water; make sure no leaves are under the water. Cover the leaves loosely with a plastic bag and refrigerate until ready to use, changing the water every 2 days. Herbs should stay vibrant and fresh for about 5 days.

Can add chicken

I made a few changes... I used a bag of frozen seasoned (mexican) rice, 2 cups of frozen sweet corn, and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. I had to bake longer because of the frozen ingredients (about 40 min). Next time I might add chicken.

It was a little dry. I made it for Thanksgiving and it wasn't a big hit.

It's easy, my family LOVES it (husband especially) and it's not too bad for those of us watching our waistlines -- or at least TRYING to!

Looks like a very tasty recipe. I agree with other comments I've read about adding chicken. The more meat & cheese included, the more I know my husband will love it.
