Instead of Italian seasoning and onion flakes, I added 2t chili powder, 2t paprika, 1t crushed red pepper, 1/2t cumin, and 1/4t cayenne pepper. It turned out delicious! It's pretty spicy, which I like, but if you don't like things very spicy you might want to cut back on the cayenne and crushed red pepper (or leave them out tridentAE65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02911147464765397390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-83080424657918919362013-06-08T10:43:57.992-07:002013-06-08T10:43:57.992-07:00I've made this several times and we enjoyed ev...I've made this several times and we enjoyed every morsel. I love baked beans, so I added 8 oz of barbeque sauce. I suppose you could make your own sauce if you have a good recipe. My husband requested adding some sliced chicken sausage links to it at the last hour of cooking and that added a nice touch to it too. Men gotta have their meat!

A few bits of rice were not soft, but overall it turned out fine. And the rice cruchies may have been the result of mixing a little basmati to regular brown rice to get a full cup.<br /><br />The dish was good, but I thought it could use a bit more oomph.
