This was great! My family loved it! I left out the veggies only because I didn't have any on hand. Cook this just as the recipe says and it will come out great. After I made this I realized that this is the same dish my mom has cooked for years. Only in my family we call this dish "dirty rice".

The recipe was tasty...I thought the green onion and french onion soup was a little redundant, so I don't know that I would add the onion again. I pre-cooked the rice and the ground beef and then just warmed the casserole in the oven to save time. My 3 year old liked it, husband isn't the biggest fan of rice, but he ate it and said the flavor was good.

I used minute rice, as suggested by another rater, and also sauted my veggies with the ground beef, then drained the grease. I sprinkled a little cheese on top and baked for 30 minutes. It was fast, easy and my family really liked it.

I was very disappointed in this dish. My rice was not cooked at all! I followed the directions to the letter. I will not make this again.

Although this smelled wonderful while it was baking, we found it very bland and dry, sorry.

I used leftover brisket(roast beef would work) instead of hambuger. I also used brown rice instead of white. It was GREAT!! I also used the review that had used dry soup mix and add cheese on top.

I couldn't believe that the husband and the boy didn't like this. Me & the girl liked it a lot. A few changes: We don't eat rice, so I used "No Yoke" noodles (cooked). Used a package of Dry Onion soup with 2 cups water (instead of canned French Onion). Browned the beef with the white onions (fresh out of green), peppers, celery. Also, to the beef: garlic powder, a splash of light soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, plus a generous pour of A-1. In a 9X13 pan, halfway through cooking, I topped with a 2 cup bag of Mozzarella cheese and Original French Fried Onions. Everything else was the same... If it were up to me, this would be put into rotation.

Super Quick and Super Easy. This went over well, we had no leftovers. In variation, we used our own ground deer meat mixed with ground beef. It was a perfect new way to eat venison (deer meat). We will make this again. I thought about using wild rice next time or variate with cream of celery instead of cream of mushroom. Thanks for the recipe!

I cooked the meat first (I used 93% lean but I didn't want even a little fat) & because I was making this for lunch for the grands, I used egg noodles (I boiled them first until halfway done) instead of rice, to make it easier for my 10 mo. old grandson to eat. I added 3 cloves of minced garlic, a "glub" of sherry (wsa probably less than 1/4 cup), used red bell pepper instead of green & used Healthy Request cream of mushroom soup. Like SPEECHTEACHER, I did cook this in a deep 2 qt casserole dish & I had no problems w/ it being too dry. My infant grandson liked it but the rest of them just ate it so they could have some pudding. ;o) Thanks for the recipe but I don't think I'll make this again.

This was a great casserole. My husband really enjoyed it, he put ketchup on it and said it tasted like meatloaf. I liked it with steak sauce. My daughter said too much onion for her, but the 2nd time I made it, I used the french onion soup mix (and took out the onion) and two cups of water and kept the green onion and she ate and liked it a lot more. We will make this again!!

I omitted the celery, onions and peppers due to husband's aversion to them. I added 4 oz. sliced mushrooms and I sprinkled 8 oz. shredded mozzarella over top. This was very simple and satisfying on a cold night. We enjoyed it with a little steak sauce.

Very simple and filling. I browned and seasoned the meat before assembling,added a can of mushrooms as had been suggested. I did add shredded Monterey Jack after 40 minutes of cooking. We liked it. Thanks!!!

I'm sorry, my husband and I didn't care for this as written. Melting some shredded mozarella on top helped a bit, though.

Meh, we didn't think much of this. One hour in the oven was way too long - the veggies had cooked down to nothing. There was pretty much no flavor, certainly nothing at all like French Onion. Perhaps some dry French Onion soup mix might help? Anyway, I won't be making this again. Sorry.

This is one of those recipes where you can add/omit/change ingredients and it still comes out good! I've made it according to the recipes but tonight I added mushrooms, ground sausage, and shredded cheese and it came out great!

I'm always looking for ways to use ground beef and this is great. I did precook the meat but only partially in the microwave for about 4 minutes, then broke it up and drained it. I used ideas from other reviewers and added mushrooms, used instant rice, minced garlic. I didn't have the onion soup so used the mix and 2 cups of water. At the table we thought it a wee bit bland, so added some lite soy sauce and it was really good. I added some to the leftovers too and they were just as good. Will make this a keeper. Thanks for a great recipe.

I made this using 3/4 ground beef and 1/4 bulk Italian sausage. Browned the meat along with chopped onions, chopped green onions, chopped celery, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. I didn't have French onion soup, so used 1 envelope Beefy onion soup mix with 1 1/2 soup cans of water. Do not add any more salt if using soup mix! Used instant rice and mixed all together. At the last 10 min. of baking, I sprinkled a mixture of shredded Italian and motzarella cheeses on top, covered and finished baking. Yum!

Easy, inexpensive, and tastes great! Followed the suggestion to use 1 pkg Lipton Onion Soup plus 2 c water since I didn't have French onion soup. Browned meat first, covered baking dish, stirred after 30 minutes, after 20 more minutes it was done. Melted cheddar on top. Yummy! Next time will add more bell pepper.
