I did the recipe calculator on this, because I eat rice all the time and it just didn't seem right

I'm not really sure how we came up with such different numbers, perhaps the spark recipes caloric content for white rice is for cooked?

This is the same as a family recipe we have made for more than 50 yrs. Yes the rice is raw when it is sautéed in a bit of annato oil. At this point a pound of Ground beef is added then the onions and garlic. We also use a very sharp cheddar for the topping. Black olives make a great garnish. - 4/25/09
