My family would not eat. They ended up topping with sour cream and jalopenos. The rice tasted of 100% tomato and the italian seasoning was too strong.

This was really good, my family enjoyed it. I did change it a little by browning the ground beef in a skillet, drain then add onions, and I did not use bread crumbs, so the "crust" wasn't so much of a crust as it was a layer, but it turned out fine. Very tasty.

Onions came out crunchy...maybe saute them first?

This was delicious and very easy. The only modification I made was to use a casserole dish instead of a pie pan - there was no way it would all fit.

4 stars for the concept. It's an adaptable recipe. Here's what I did: I used 3/4 of a package of taco seasoned ground turkey (packaged similar to a roll of sausage). I only had a small can of tomato sauce so supplemented with spaghetti sauce in the crust. For the filling I used a can of diced tomatoes, undrained (since I didn't have enough tomato sauce) and some frozen corn. Also chopped up some canned jalapenos for spice. I used brown rice cooked in a rice cooker. Over all, not bad, but I wish I would have baked the "crust" before adding the filling, because it was not very pie-like, more just mushy. Not bad. A good way to use up pantry and freezer items.

Not one of my favorite things. Kind of lacked a depth of flavor

LOVEDDD IT! Will forsure work this into my weekly rotation of food. I had alot of left over rice from another meal, i just used that, good use of left overs!! i used tomato mushroom sauce instead of plain tomato sauce, Instead of green pepper i used red. I didnt have Italian seasoning so i just added garlic powder, as well as the other seasonings listed. and i didnt have to drain any water like the recipe said, it totally evaporated on its own. It was fantastic tasting! A new fav.

A slightly modified version of this was a HUGE hit with my kids and my wife (and me!) this evening. Here are the modifications I made: 1. My kids have a dairy allergy, so I used Daiya Soy Cheddar instead of real cheese 2. I had no tomato paste in the house, so I didn't use any. 3. After reading the other reviews, I pre-baked the crust for 15 minutes, and then baked with the rice mixture for another 10 (so the total time for that step was the same). I had *no* liquid to drain, so that must have done something positive (although, come to think of it I used home-ground beef which tends to be pretty lean, so that probably helped as well)

Delicious! I did add worcestershire sauce & dry mustard powder to the meat and I baked just the meat for 12 minutes before I added the rice mixture, then I baked it for about 35 minutes longer. Next time I will bake the meat for 15-20 before adding the rice.
