Regularly, my students are charged with making quick and easy side dishes to pair with their entrées. This was one of their creations.

Many of my students opted to use traditional long grained rice. Another used 2 packages of Uncle Ben's 90 Second Microwaved Red Beans & Rice. While another employed 2 Success Minute Rice bags. All turned out delicious tho!
