We’re all trying to eat a little better these days but sometimes, changing our habits can be hard. Let this and our other veggie-based recipes come to the rescue! Not only is this recipe meatless, it also uses our 100% wholegrain Minute® Ready to Serve Brown & Wild Rice which is chock-full of nutrients and vitamins.

Any Way You Like it!

Not only is this dish ready in minutes, it’s also easy to adapt to what you have on hand or to the flavors you prefer. If you don’t have veggie burgers at home, make this with a frozen beef patty. Simply adjust the cooking time to ensure that it’s properly cooked through.

You can also top this with any type of cheese, dressing or vegetable you like. Try pickled jalapeños, for spice. Add corn, if you like things sweet. Replace the ranch dressing with Italian vinaigrette, blue cheese dressing or any type you enjoy. The possibilities are endless!
