This was GREAT. It's a good pantry staple meal. I used dried onions and V-8 juice instead of the tomato juice and cut out the salt and it was awesome! My husband said it reminded him of a deconstructed stuffed green pepper. All the kids cleaned their plates, too. THANKS! I will for SURE make this again.

WOW!! FANTASTIC!! This was great! So easy and inexpensive! HUGE hit with everybody! The rice turned out PERFECT for me and the dish was not dry at all! When you make this recipe, remember that you need to use long cooking brown rice and the rice MUST go in first and then add the remaining ingredients in the order they are given in the recipe. We even made 2 pans and baked them at the same time. Both turned out just PERFECTly!! We will DEFINITELY be making this again VERY soon!! Thank you for submitting what is now our family's new FAVORITE dish!!

Wow! I just made this tonight. It's delicious! My husband is crazy about it, and he's picky. Great combination of flavors. Someone mentioned adding water, so I did add about 1/2 cup of water, and after an hour and a half, the rice was cooked perfectly, and the casserole was beautiful. Also, I didn't have tomato juice, so I used tomato sauce. Still came out great. I'll be making this one again! Thanks! P.S. To answer Pat's question. The ground beef is uncooked when you put it in the casserole.

Rice didn't cook as quickly as recipe stated and over all was just a terrible dish.

I started this, when I realized I had no ground beef...so it became a meatless meal, although I can imagine the beef would really taste good in it. The only thing I didn't like about it was that I had to add about 1/2 cup water to get the rice fully cooked. Otherwise, it was so easy to throw it all together, then forget it in the oven.
