Directions
Pork Rice Casserole, From my in-laws Mexican style comfort food , OK, had to make a few adjustments but this was yummy! My adjustments were: leftover pork roast from last night–so no need to saute the pork; didn’t precook celery, didn’t add onion cuz of adding salsa; only had 1 5 cups of rice which was already cooked; didn’t have black beans–used pinto beans and used salsa & a can of diced tomatoes instead of the spices, etc Oh, by not needing to saute, it cut cooking time down to 25 minutes in the oven too Um, yeah, almost a whole new recipe but it was well received by 3 of our 4 (the almost 4 year old son has decided to refuse ALL meals when daddy is home, even if he loves them!) Oh, also, no cheese used but added a dollop of sour cream at the table This was put on at first to tone down the medium salsa for the kids but tasted so good–licking my finger– that I decided to add it to mine too Great addition! So, a bunch of changes to a great jumping-off point recipe! I hope you don’t mind that I took so many liberties, Scott Clark! I tend to do that with lots of recipes, except for baking gluten free bread! THAT requires following the recipe probably why I don’t enjoy it as much as other cooking! :o) THANKS!, OK, had to make a few adjustments but this was yummy!
