Baked Mexican Rice with Cheese Patties is simply party perfect! Although it involves preparing the Mexican rice, cheese patties and a special tomato sauce too, each of these is quite easy to prepare and will not take too much time. You can prepare all these in advance and arrange them in a baking dish, ready to be stowed into the oven just a while before the guests arrive. Watch their faces light up as the aroma of tomatoes, onions, melting cheese and browning rice waft out of the oven tantalizingly.

My kids loved this recipe! it was yummy! flavours of oregano in the tomato sauce with melting cheese patties in the mouth,kids didn''t realise they ate the veggies along. I tried this with corn and spinach too instead of carrots and beans , again the dish came out tasty and healthy! I love your receipies and was never disappointed with any. Thanks a lot for sharing this one. whenever I get bored with routine stuff I pull out something interesting from your receipies and whoa! kids want me to start a restaurant now;)
