Here we are again, a great easy to do recipe from Betty Crocker. This can be made in under 30 minutes. The only thing left is a salad. Calorie count about 570, if you replace the rice with orzo pasta calories are about 550, and if you use potatoes it comes down to about 350. (of course, you can't load the potato with lots of butter). To make things a little easier, try the microwave rice it's done in 90 seconds & you save cleaning another pot.
