This dish was a waste of time. It was bland and flavorless.

The rice was a little undercooked for my taste, but otherwise this dish was very good.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used a spicy turkey kielbasa. Next time I'll use a milder sausage.
