If you use Minute rice, it gets real mushy. I use Uncle Ben's instant rice or boil a bag. If you use boil a bag add at the end and cook 20 to 30 mins. My husband loves stuffed green peppers and this is much easier. He likes to eat this over mashed potatoes in the bottom of the bowl as a main meal with bread and butter.
