Easy, Everyday Stuffing

Posted: 10/11/2012

Rice makes an outstanding weeknight stuffing.

(NAPSI)—You don’t have to wait for a special occasion to enjoy a great stuffing. Paired with roast chicken and pork chops or stuffed into acorn squash or bell peppers, rice stuffing makes a delicious side dish any day of the year.

Start with U.S.-grown and packaged Royal Blend rice in your next stuffing for a nutty flavor and unique aroma. Made with Texmati white, brown, red and wild rice, the colorful blend is easy to prepare, all natural and great tasting.

This Southern-inspired Pecan Rice Stuffing can easily move to the center of the plate with the addition of chopped rotisserie chicken, smoked turkey breast or even fish.
