Meatball Veggie Cheesy Rice

There are certain pre-packaged foods that I love to use when I’m running short on time. Flavored rice packets and frozen meatballs fall into that category for me so don’t be afraid to use pre-packaged food when you need some help in the kitchen. Fresh and homemade is always best but sometimes after a long day you need something you can make in 15 minutes that isn’t chicken nuggets and boxed mac & cheese every night. So enjoy this quick and easy recipe!
