Made for a tailgate party and the recipe was for by several people. I baked in a casserole dish until it was bubbly and slightly browned on top. Used 1/2 cup of mayo and 1/2 cup of sour cream. Also added a minced fresh clove of garlic to the dip. I took fresh sliced sourdough bread and lightly brushed melted butter with a little fresh minced garlic. Cut into bite size pieces and put on a cookie sheet and baked until lightly toasted. A keeper! Will double the recip next time. BTW...as another reviewer mentioned, do not use the canned parmesan cheese. Either grate yourself or get in a bag in the dairy department of your grocery.

Had all the ingredients on hand for a quick dinner. I cut down the recipe to 1# of ground beef, therefore, didn't want to open a whole can of tomatoes for this one recipe. I had some homemade salsa on hand, so used it instead. Didn't really see the need for the cornmeal, so didn't add it. BF liked it, so looks like we'll be having this again. Much better than the package stuff.

Flavors were great! I used fresh rosemary and thyme from my garden. I'm rating it lower because there is way too much liquid in this. My gut instinct from the beginning was that it was too much and I should of cut back, instead followed the recipe. Rice was soggy. I've never heard of a rice recipe, where you drain it at the end. I think if the liquid proportions were correct this could be a great recipe, as the flavor was very good.
