This is a great basic recipe that you can make with what you have on hand. I cooked my rice in the rice cooker, used a pound and a half of ground beef, and one can of tomato paste. I seasoned my ground beef while browning, with a roasted garlic and pepper mix, then after adding the tomato paste I added in about a can or so of water to make it more spreadable in the dish. Last but not least, I used a shredded tex-mex cheddar mix. These are the things I had on hand, and it worked out great!

Really enjoyed this dish. The nice surprise was that leftovers in a tortilla made a great burrito!

I have made this twice. The first time we did not like it. I made it the second time and used only 2 cans of soup 2 tablespoons Chilli powder. And used Chedder Cheese. it tastes way better the 1 qrt pan is a little small but it works. over all its a good dish. its easy to twist to your own liking but its a good basic start to some very good meal ideas thanks for posting it.

I used real shreded cheddar cheese and 2 cups of rice - yes definitely need a 2 qt dish. Plus, I sauteed meat with onions and garlic for added flavor and used ground turkey. I loved it! It turned out really well.

Well, I tried a three quart dish, and it seemed to large for the ingredients listed, so maybe a two quart next time. Also, it's two cups of water for one cup rice. And I steer away from velveeta. So I used about one and 3/4 cups fine shredded cheddar. But overall, it tasted just great. We both loved it.

We really enjoyed this with the personal adjustments. It's a great idea, which is why I gave it a shot. I have a rice cooker, so I cooked 2 c of rice. While the rice was cooking I sauted red onion (half salted)and garlic (3 cloves), then the lb of beef. I seasoned the beef with cajun & montreal steak seasoning. Instead of tom.soup I used 6oz Ragu and 5T of restaurant stlye salsa and eye-balled the chili powder. In place of the Velveta I used real colby/jack, american, and provolone. Then, yes and then I topped it off with French's french fried onions.

This dish tastes awesome, but you do have to make some changes. First of all, I cooked the rice in the rice cooker first and I decreased the amount of ground beef, and the cans of tomato soup. Lastly, I used regular cheddar instead of velveeta.

This recipe is just not right. Where do I start--First of all, it calls for a 1 qt baking dish. This is impossible considering it calls for 3 cans of soup which is almost a quart in itself. I made the recipe tonight and didn't find it anything special. There is way too much chili powder. Rice cannot be properly cooked using 1 cup water to 1 cup rice. There should be 2 cups of water. I feel I wasted food tonight.

This was terrible! My family and I were trying out new recipes this month, and I saw that this had good ratings. So it sounded good... Its not! I my have put too much cheese on it or something, i dont know. It just was really creamy and cheesy to the point that you couldnt taste anything else. Velveeta is not my idea of a good snack to only taste the velveeta! Unless you want a VERY high calorie meal with nothing but cheese...

This does have a pretty nice taste to it. I made it for my husband and myself one Sunday night when we wanted something quick and tasty. We used ground turkey instead of beef and liked the way that turned out- however, I love cheese and I think next time I might ad twice as much. Just wasn't quite enough for me. Also, didn't fit in a 1 Qt casserole- I had to use my 2 Qt.
