And lots of extra stale Kaiser rolls to stretch the meat loaf and meat
balls... and add rice too. I don't mind the extra bread crumbs but
I don't like rice in my meat loaf or meat balls... I especially don't
like rice in stuffed peppers or stuffed cabbage.
Nowadays chicory costs as much if not more than coffee.

I said earlier today that I usually only like rice with chinese food.
Stuffed peppers is another meal that I like rice (and lots of meat and
onions, etc).

If you don't like rice in stuffed peppers, what do you use?
Don't tell me pasta - that would be somewhat bizarre lol

Make albondigas soup sometime. It's basically vegetable soup with
porcupine meatballs in a beef broth with Mexican seasonings. Cilantro
is a must for me. Don't make the meatballs Italian! All you need is
meat & rice. Use no more than 1/3 cup rice per pound of meat.

Another soup that calls for rice is Avgolemono (Greek Chicken-Egg
Soup). Not hard to make and very tasty.

My FIL wouldn't eat rice but he had tons of peppers. I stuffed them with
bread stuffing to serve with chicken. I also stuffed them with mashed
potatoes but can't remember now what I served those with. A mixture of corn
and beans or either one with ground beef works too. All are good.
