Great dish for kids to help with. This is one of my favorite dishes from childhood. Flexible too, I have always used yellow onions instead of green. The missing ingredient here is to put crunchy chow mein noodles on the top for the last part of the baking process. We always made it with the noodles on top and it really seems naked w/o it! This casserole is not elaborate by any means but if you want simple comfort food I think this is the greatest!

This was barely ok. I would not recomend it unless you just need to use up some brown rice. There are better recipes with hamburger and mushroom soup.

This is homemade hamburger helper. It was ok for a quick fix. Next time I will just cook the rice in with the other. I also added frozen corn and green beans to the hamburger mixture.

I also used white Minute rice and onion powder, and added a little milk to make it creamier. Tasted great! Will cook this again!

I serve this over noodles instead of rice and my husband says it's the best stroganoff he's ever had.

This was very good, and easy. I was happy to find a "comfort food" recipe that included brown rice. The only change I would make next time is to add some garlic, to spice it up, and something green, like peas or green beans, to make it a meal. Even so, as is, it's a keeper.

My family loves this recipe. I use onion powder instead of green onions and minute rice instead of brown rice...just for ease of cooking. It's fast and easy to make and doesn't taste like it's out of a box!

Considering I had to edit this to meet with what I had on hand it was really good! I will certainly be making this again!

I had ground beef, mushroom soup, and brown rice and needed a recipe to use what I had on hand. PERFECT! Was so easy and the worchestershire and soy sauces gave it a lovely flavor. I did saute chopped regular onion with the beef and added a bit of garlic. I asked my husband if I should make it again and he said, "Definitely!"

My husband told me not to fix this again...sorry... I think maybe it was either too bland or something. He said instead of rice, pour it over biscuits.

It tastes good and it's easy. My husband and I were just grateful for something a little different than the same old meals. I think I will probably make it again. I did add chilli powder and garlic to give it more of a kick.

I used a mix of regular onion and green onion, and instead of cream of mushroom, I used one of those new mexican cooking soups in creamy tomato. I added some corn to the mix. Overall, I thought it needed more spices, more rice and the corn will be better as a side, as suggested. I will make this again, but not without some tweaking.

Good and very filling. Had leftovers for days! Will probably make again, but not too often. Somewhat bland so next time I will probably experiment with spices.

This was very good. Although I did add one can of mixed veggies since what is shepards pie without some veggies mixed in. I also used instant white rice since that is all I had but I dont think it changed anything. I will definately make this again.

This was great for a quick meal. I made a low-fat version using ground turkey and low-fat cream of mushroom soup. I used white onions instead of green onions and added canned mushrooms. I also double the sauces for extra flavor. It was served with orzo and fresh cucumbers. The trick with this recipe is layering the flavor, I added each ingredient stirred and cooked and added the soup last.

This was okay to eat one night, but I wont repeat the recipe. It was too salty and just tasted too...something. I couldn't really put my finger on it.
