This recipe is based on Rice-A-Roni Mushroom Rice. Those products not only taste terrible but are terrible for you. It is great served with a grilled chicken breast or lean pork chop.
The argument is always that products like Rice-A-Roni are easier, cheaper and take less time than making your own. As with our analysis of Hamburger Helper, this is simply not true. This takes about the same amount of time, tastes better, is cheaper, and much better for you, with fewer calories, less salt, more fiber, and much more flavor.
