This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making some changes to suit your own taste. For example, you could add more vegetables, or use a different type of cheese.

I followed the recipe exactly and the rice came out mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more spices next time.

I made this recipe with brown rice and it turned out great! I also added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch.
