Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Substitute 1 jar (15 oz.) whole beets, drained and chopped, for the chopped cooked fresh beets.

Preventing Beet Stains

When handling cooked or canned beets, it's easy to stain your hands and cutting board from the juices. To prevent this, wear disposable latex gloves and cut beets on a large glass or ceramic plate rather than a cutting board.

The kids (ages 12, 10, and 6) loved it. I have to admit, it looks a little strange, but it tastes wonderful! I won't change a thing when I make it again.

I did not care for the combination of rice, beets, & Italian dressing as much as other beet recipes.

This seems like a unique,easy(with the canned beets) and nutritious dish. The color makes it an excellent holiday dish with the option of adding meat or other ingredients.
