notes & tips
- Any protein works. Canned tuna, sliced hot dogs, vienna sausages, or even just a fried egg on top.
- No gravy packet? Use cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup thinned with a little water. Same idea.
- Stretch it: This is one of those meals where a little protein goes a long way because the gravy and rice do most of the work.
