I was not paying attention and mixed the water in with the vegetables, then baked it all together without cooking it as directed. Loved it, no complaints, I made it again and did it the same way since it worked out the last time. Thanks for great recipe, I will be making this often.

I've been making this one for awhile. Always good and an easy one to put together. Makes a great vege side dish and goes with most anything.

This was so easy and required very little prep. We had it with the Recipe #156268, and there wasn't a crumb left! I only wish I had made a bigger pan. This will be made again and again in my home. Thanks for a great, easy recipe!

Enjoyed this one! I made it into a full meal by adding cooked chicken chunks. I substituted wheat Ritz as that's what I had on hand. I served my DD first while I finished up in the kitchen. She was making all the mmmm yummmm sounds and guarded her bowl when I said I think I need to try a bite of yours. Going straight to the keeper file. Thanks Kim D

The picture is of me and my husband at the Grand Canyon - November 2008. I've just started a food blog and would love for those interested in cooking and recipes to check it out. You can follow my food journey at <a href=http://onecookbookatathyme.wordpress.com/>http://onecookbookatathyme.wordpress.com/</a>Cooking for family and friends is one of my favorite things to do. I spend most of my free time in the kitchen, either checking out Recipezaar or experimenting with a newly found recipe. My DH and I are both from Texas and we both come from Italian families. Anyone who stops by my house should be prepared to eat!!! I'm always forcing friends and family to try whatever it is that just came out of the oven. I know that is a horrible habit but I can't break it... I think it must be the Italian in me! LOL :) My sister (<a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=85654>Cookin_Kit</a>) and I used to help my Mom (<a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=124343>JudaThann</a>) in the kitchen a lot growing up. I guess that is where my love for cooking began. I also enjoy sharing the kitchen with my DH (<a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=202688>Sgt. Pepper</a>). He doesn't cook as often as he did when we first got married, but he makes an awesome pizza and still makes them at least twice a month. He keeps his recipes for the dough and the sauce top secret, even from me. LOL I have two step-children. The oldest graduated from college and the youngest is a sophom*ore at Texas Tech. I also have two cats and a dog. When I?m not cooking or hanging out here at Zaar, I like to knit, garden, read, watch old movies, travel, take photos, scrapbook, volunteer at a non-kill animal shelter, and spend time with my family and friends. <img src=http://images.snapfish.com/34359%3C8323232%7Ffp47%3Dot%3E232%3A%3D8%3A3%3D429%3DXROQDF%3E23237%3C2733%3B9%3Bot1lsi alt= /> I'm a co-host with <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=21399>Karen From Colorado</a> in the <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum?f=37>Mexican/Tex-Mex/Southern United States Cooking Forum</a>.
