Comments
this is even good with chicken sausage or leftover roast beef (just add some extra spices). very good for a diet side dish and i’m saving this recipe.
Was pretty good with chicken in the middle of the week. The cheese really does hold it together. Might try different spices next time and add chicken sausage.
WE MADE THIS WITH COOKED RICE AND IT WAS GOOD BUT MY MOTHER IN LAW MADE SOME WITH HER SKINNY NOODLES AND SAID IT WAS VERY GOOD.
didn’t have any rice pearls so i chopped up the skinny dip angel hair into small rice-pieces. turned out good.
Yummm, been looking for a low carb turkey dressing. Walnuts for crunch? Woo hoo!
