My son and I really would give this 3 1/2 stars if we could. We enjoyed it as it was but it wasn't anything special. The flavor was ok. It's a good way to use up some ground beef and left-over rice when you need to. If I try this again, I think I'll definitely add some fresh garlic and green onions and maybe some ginger.

Very good recipe. I added shredded carrot and mushrooms to mine and it was a big hit!

Good basic recipe but after reading reviews I made changes but the recipe easily adapted to changes. Used sesame oil versus vegetable oil and used left over prime rib trimmed and cut in small cubes versus the ground beef. Used brown rice and some leftover long-grain and wild rice and increased to 5 tablespoons of light soy sauce. Added some fresh thinly sliced mushrooms and some frozen peas. My husband and mother-in-law really liked this. It all went in one sitting. Thanks, Edith. The next time I have ground beef I will try this as originally intended.

Sorry, but this fried rice recipe does not taste good. The soy sauce overpowers everything else and my family did'nt like it. I made this recipe exactly as written. I won't be making this again.

5 year said "This is the probably the best supper you have made." 3 year old who usually sits at the dinner table for an hour while we are making him take bits ate this all without any hassle. They like it so I will make it again! Upped the soy sauce and sprinkled garlic powder and ginger all over.

I found this recipe when I searched for "ground beef and rice" ... Score. I just cooked the ground beef separate and put it over white rice. I used bell pepper and garlic and some ginger. Hubs loved it. Kids loved it. Totally making this again.

I made this for dinner tonight. My boyfriend and I both liked it. Due to the suggestions in other reviews I used 5 TBS of soy sauce and mixed the sugar in before adding it to the meat, egg and rice. Because of allergies, I omitted the onion and used celery instead. Delicious! I will make this again.

Great recipe! I only used 1/4 c minced onion and 1/2 tsp onion powder since I don't care much for the chunks of onion. I used leftover basmati rice. I cooked the ground beef and the onion together and added some minced garlic and a splash of sesame oil. I used Nascar seasoning salt (homemade blend) on the beef as it cooked. Tossed in some frozen peas and carrots and topped it with chives. This was really good and we cleaned our plates! Thanks for a great recipe.
