Each serving - fill up 1 green container with casserole

1 red container

1 yellow container

TIP- if you don't have cooked rice already made, use one cup of brown rice and 2 cups of water and boil together until liquid is gone.  Start the rice before starting the casserole and everything will be ready around the same time!
