Notes: I think using converted rice or instant rice will work just as well and maybe better. I have had crunchy regular rice in this dish in the past. I added the brown sugar to the sauce by noting that a Taste of Home author had done this to their recipe. It seems like a logical addition to tomato sauce.
I liked the sauce better with the addition of the brown sugar.
