In reply to Darcy Leerhoff. I refrigerate the bars until ready to serve. If you have access to a fridge, that is ideal since they are a custard base.

The first time, I made this exactly as described, I found the tomato to be a little too acidic and felt it needed more flavor (why the 3 star rating) . The second time, I subbed the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes with marinara sauce, added some cheese in with the rice and meat besides on top (I’m from Wisconsin and feel you can’t have too much cheese), added more bell pepper and used a mix of bell pepper flavors, a little more beef, and basil and seasonings to ramp up the flavor to elevate this dish. Mmm, mmm good!! Much easier than stuffed peppers. Thanks for the idea.

Could the rice be par boiled in the beef broth, then added to the other ingredients, placed in a casserole dish, and baked (for a better presentation and transporting)? If so, what adjustments?

I’m making this for my office co-workers this Thursday.
Can you tell me if I need to keep and serve it cool or can it sit out all day?
Thank you! Excited!

In reply to Michelle Goff. Yes! Absolutely, however I recommend swapping ClearJel for the cornstarch if you plan to can the pie filling and preserve it that way. Cornstarch and flour are not recommended for canning recipes.
