I followed recipe directions except, omitted water, and replaced it with an undrained can of diced tomatoes w/ chile peppers and one can of undrained black beans. Also, I did not drain my corn. There were no issues with water, it turned out excellent.

We loved this meal. I too thought it was a littel bland, so I added worsteshire sauce and chili powder to taste. The rice cooked just fine in 1 cup water for me. My tomato sauce can was 8 oz, instead of 6. We also made Allrecipes Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread to go with it.

VERY BLAND!! I added kidney beans, extra tomato sauce and it was still very bland so I ended up with fresh galric, some chili powder and a bit of cumin. It is a nice basis but needs a lot of work for a flavorful dish.

Not a real crowd pleaser at my house. I think everyone expected a little zip because of the name. Sorry

This sounded a little bland, and the liquid amount didn't seem correct, so I made the following changes and it was excellent! I used olive rather than vegetable oil, and frozen rather than canned corn. Instead of the tomato sauce and ketchup, I used 2 cups V8 spicy hot juice and 1 cup water. I also used one minced clove of garlic, 1 tsp. cumin and 1/2 tsp chili powder. I simmered until all liquid had been absorbed. I would definitely make this again.

I used success spanish rice, and as the rice was boiling. I browned the meat and added onion power to taste. The followed the direction on the box, and add to ground beef. Added one can of corn and one can of cut green beans to the meat. To this I added 3 tablespoons of Heinz 57 sauce to add a zing. My family loved it, and my family is picky.

Defiantly use 2 cups water, (1 cup uncooked rice - 2 cups water, always) I browned the hamburger and put it to the side. I then browned the rice, added the onion, bell pepper, 1 tablespoon minced garlic and sprinkled with cumin, salt and pepper. I then added in the water, tomato sauce, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can corn and hamburger. I also added 1 jalapeno sliced. I stirred it all together and covered for 20-25 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE LID until 20 minutes has elapsed, that way the rice can cook properly. I did not use ketchup, don’t care much for that sweet taste. A good recipe!

This was the best recipe ever!! It was simple, and there were almost no dishes to be cleaned afterward! The only adjustments i made were, substituting tomato juice for the tomato sauce, and adding less ketchup. And since i was out of green peppers i added mushrooms and green beans-still awesome! I also added chili powder to spice it up a bit. One little flaw-the rice took forever to cook! But over all, GREAT recipe!

Very good recipe. I was out of green peppers, so I used the whole can of corn and added a can of black beans as well. I also substituted the water, ketchup and sauce for 2 cans of diced tomatoes (as another reviewer suggested)... then added about 1/2 can water because it still seemed dry. Next time I make this I'll definitely have the green peppers on hand as I'm sure this would add a lot to the dish. Oh, I added chili powder too (about 1 T.) for some kick. Thanks, Donna!

Yummy! The only gripe that I had was that the rice was a bit mushy. I did add the vegetable juice instead of water like some of the other reviews suggested. But, this recipe had great flavor!! I will make it again

My husband loved this recipe. I substituted V8 juice for the water and then added about 3/4 cup extra V8. When I reheated the leftovers in the microwave, I also added a small amount of V8 to keep it moist.

I found this recipe to be great and is now one of the family favourites. I followed a few suggestions like doubling the water which was good and since I was out of ketchup I used 1 part worcestershire to 3 parts v/8 juice and this turned out great. I also ommited the corn because I'm not the biggest fan so next time I might try adding peas or beans.

This was pretty good, although I did make a couple of enhancements to it. I doubled the amount of water and also added a chopped jalepeno and some red pepper flakes to kick it up a little.

This was a good recipe! The only thing I changed was that I added two cups of water for the one cup of rice that I used. Also I added a bit of worchestershire sauce. This spiced it up very well! My husband like this alot, and he is no veggie fan. :)
