This has really good flavors. I love Spanish Rice, but no one else in my family does. I thought I had everything on hand to make this, but after I got started, I realized I didn't have any beans, so I made the dish without beans. I added a can of green chilis to the mix and that was just the kick it needed for me. Beans would have been good too. I don't like green bell pepper, so I put an orange bell pepper in and it looks so festive. Since this made a lot and I'm the only one who will eat it, I am experimenting to see if this is a freezer-friendly meal. I put up several ziploc bowls in the freezer to take to work for lunch. I didn't bake it with the cheese on it for the freezer. I'm planning on warming it in the microwave and add the cheese to the warmed up bowl. I'll let you know if this works.

Edited: FYI, this dish did hold up very well in the freezer. I will be adding this to my once-a-month cooking list for the future!
