Hearty Skillet Supper

I must have a lot of extra time on my hands considering this is my 3rd entry in one day! I found this recipe and because I had everything on hand it was tonight dinner. This was very simple and filling. I've never had a rice/potato combo like this and was interested in what it would taste like. It was quite good. Brad ate his on a piece of bread and butter. I think the kids were full of cookies, so they didn't eat much. That's what I get for making cookies right before dinner! At only 75 cents per serving I will be making this again. Next time I'm going to taste it before adding the soy sauce to see if there's a big difference.
