Yummy! I made a few changes which is why I only rated 4 stars. I didn't have bell peppers, but I had so many jalapeno peppers from my garden. I added one jalapeno pepper chopped. I sauteed the pepper and onion and added about a cup of frozen broccoli which I let thaw slightly. I also boiled the rice in chicken broth to give more flavor. This is a keeper!

made as directed adding cooked chicken. Extremely tasty with the cheese. I will be adding cheese on a regular basis to my brown rice. Amazing how good it tastes bringing boring brown rice to popping yum-yum. The onions and peppers gave a sweet balance. This is a super easy recipe that you will make over and over again.

After reading reviews, I decided to help try to fight the blandness by sauteing half a medium onion and 2 cloves of garlic in oil for making 2 servings of rice. When the onion was soft, I added 1/3C brown rice and sauteed a few minutes. Then I added a little under 2/3C chicken stock and a handful of frozen peas and carrots (skipped the bell pepper). Brought to a boil, covered, reduced heat to low, and simmered 45min. Then stirred in a few handfuls of freshly shredded medium cheddar. If you want better flavor, you have to use medium or sharp cheddar. Added sea salt and white pepper to taste and it was pretty good. I might go with the sharp cheddar myself next time, and maybe use broccoli florets instead of peas/carrots. Could also add diced carrot to the onion saute for flavor.

This was creamy and had good intentions, but it was a little bland for us. I will probably make this again, but tweak it for flavor. It's not bad though.

An easy and tasty recipe :) I usually add some broccoli to mine and everyone loves it - especially my 4 yr old who LOVES broccoli! Next time, will try mushrooms and the bell peppers :) This also makes a great stuffing for boneless skinless chicken breasts ^_^

Try this recipe with various vegetables (your taste), sesame seeds, and a little soy sauce for extra flavor. My kids used to love it with salsa and nutritional yeast on top. I know that signs strange, but it's delicious!

Didnt have bell peppers but was still good. A different take on just plain brown rice. Cooked in chicken broth not water for extra flavor.

I wanted to use up some green onions, so I used them in place of the red onion and tried adding a garlic clove. It was good! I made it for just one serving and enjoyed it.

Yummy!!! I love this recipe!!! So does my sweet hub! I doubled the amt of red bell pepper because I love it so much and I added green onion with the red onion and red pepper. I used a taco mix of cheese and fresh chopped cilantro at the very end! Thank you for a great recipe!!! A definite make again recipe!!!
