This is a very good recipe. I only gave it 4 stars because it's not the best I have ever made. I lost the recipe that I use to use and while this came very close to being as good it wasn't quite there. I agree with some that it is a tad to sweet, next time I will cut the sugar back some. I used jasmine rice which had a creamy flavor to begin with. I personally think it is a perfect rice for rice pudding.

In general I thought this was good. I rated it 3 stars because it's not a perfect recipe. I took the advice of so many others and added the taco seasoning. I am glad I did as I think that it would have been rather bland without it. I did use the jalepenos but kind of wish I had just used canned chilis because the peppers were so mild they almost tasted like green peppers. I have 2 major complaints: I personally thought that the corn bread was to to sweet in contrast to the beef and cheese. I think that this could be solved by leaving out the creamed corn, possibly substituting defrosted frozen corn kernels and some extra milk. My other complaint is the ratio of beef to corn bread was rather lacking. I honestly think that one package of corn muffin mix to 1 lb of beef would suffice for a family of 4. Just my own personal preference of course.

I did not care for this recipe! I prepared it for a brunch we were planning with family. I read the majority of the reviews as I always do to get a sense of what might need to be done to make a good recipe that much better. It seemed the consensus agreed that it had to many eggs and needed baked longer. So I adjusted accordingly. I used 6 eggs instead of 8 and baked it 45 minutes instead of 30. It was a mushy tasteless mess. Luckily for me the brunch was canceled so the only one subjected to it was myself and my husband. We each took one bite and didn't eat the rest. I am going to try one more time only I am going to cut the milk way down (at least by half if not even totally) add more maple syrup and melt some butter and brown sugar together to add to the mixture. It is not the egg content making this dish mushy as eggs solidify but the mass amount of milk that is in it.
