This turned out amazing! I had extra broth so I added it to the crockpot with some chicken breast and the whole family loved it. This will be a regular in my house
Absolutely delicious! Will be a regular in our house.
I have a jar of this that did I had a jar of this that did not seal, so I decided to make some rice and have it for dinner. Wonderful taste! I canned in pints as there is only myself. It is fabulous knowing I have a delicious meal in the pantry waiting. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you Jeni.
