1smallonion, chopped
1cupgrated cheddar cheese

Reviews
“I made this today.It reminds me of the flavor of Turkey stuffing, I would not make this again, but I will finish what I made.”
“Excellent!Definitely different.I accidentally put cheese in with the plantains, but I don’t mind that in the slightest.Double the cheese can’t hurt too many recipes I know of.It turned out moist, flavorful, attractive, and interesting.I would add some fresh parsley next time but the recipe as is is quite good.”
“Wonderful…my family had with cuban steak and black beans and rice”
