Cheesy Rice And Tomatoes
posted by Irishmama

Just as the description says - a tasty and filling quick lunch. I used Uncle Ben's Fast & Natural Brown Rice and Italian seasoned tomatoes. I was tempted to stir the cheese into the rice/tomato mixture at first instead just leaving it on top, but it melted and ended up as ribbons of melty cheesy goodness through the rice. I had some already-crumbled bacon in the fridge that I cooked the other day, so added that on top.

Without or without meat, and as a meal or a side to grilled meat, this is a keeper recipe for me!

Looks so good! I love that the cheese is left on top to melt as the rice cooks. It also reminds you that stirring the rice while it's cooking is a no no, in my opinion anyway :) That bacon sounds like a nice addition! Good one GK!

Wow, that looks really quick and easy! Love the use of swiss cheese and the idea of adding the bacon! Yum.

Thanks, you 2. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful this was even though there are so few ingredients. I eat a lot of white rice (especially basmati) but the flavor and texture of the brown rice works so well in this...

That looks like it would be really good stuffed in a bell pepper with even more cheese on top : )

That's a great idea mr p...........................> If I had a bell pepper, that's what I'd do with the leftovers! :)
