How to Substitute Dried Herbs for Fresh

In most recipes, a dried herb can be substituted for fresh but some conversions are necessary. As a general rule, you can use 1 tsp. of the dried herb in place of 1 Tbsp. of a fresh herb.

Everybody loved this one! Next time I will add water chestnuts to the pork chops version.

Made the beef recipe of this version. Didn't have the instant rice so used the longer cooking rice. It used a tremendous amount of liquid to cook so will definitely try using instant rice next time. Thought it was kind of bland and will try using more spices next time to jazz it up. Overall, it's very easy to make and has potential with lots of possibile variations.

I added cheddar cheese to the rice and some veggies. Kids liked it better that the original version.

The first time I made this (the vegetarian version) it was very bland, no flavor whatsoever. I made it again but added extra seasoning (thyme, garlic, cayenne pepper) and it was much better. Great for a quick and easy meal. I also substituted a 4-cheese blend for the cheddar for added flavor.

I made the steak--make sure you continue cooking during the last 5 minutes and you should be fine. We did not have any problems with rice not cooked of to much liquid. Very Good!

I tried the vegetarian version, and I thought the flavors were a little strange together. I'm not exactly sure what I would do differently, but it wasn't my favorite.

This is a very simple recipe one skillet wonder, my husband and I love it and it offers many possibilities far as jazzing it up.
