Baked Calico Rice image

I FOUND this pretty rice dish in a salad oil ad in the Ladies' Home Journal back in 1948. It's a favorite not only for its good taste, but for its simplicity of preparation. A potluck and picnic pleaser, this side dish travels well. -Dorothy Lama, Lindsay, California

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my calico rice turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much rice.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the colorful rice, and they ate all of their veggies without complaining.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have a bag of cooked rice in my freezer, so this is a quick and easy meal to throw together.

This calico rice was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I tried this recipe last night, and it was a disaster. The rice was mushy, and the vegetables were overcooked. I think I'll stick to my old calico rice recipe.

This recipe is a keeper! The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I especially loved the contrast between the sweet corn and the tangy tomatoes.
