I used turkey breakfast sausage and I didn't have celery so I omitted it. I am rating this four stars since the cook time was more like 45 mins. Although the rice looked done at 30 mins., it was still crunchy. I also cut the recipe in half and still have 3-4 servings not two. The overall taste really depends on the salsa. I loved the idea but the recipe needs a little work.

This was very good and my kids loved it. It was easy to prepare and quick from prep to table. I always try to follow recipes to the letter the first time - but I didn't have loose sausage so I used cased sausage and cut into bite sized pieces and still it was good. This will go into the rotation. Thanks!!!

This is an excellant receipe. However, there are two of us, I will make half a receipe next time. I topped each serving with the cheese. Next time I will top the melted cheese with sour cream and green onions. I will also include green olives in the receipe. Yum!

This was a big hit with my hubby. I would definitely make it again! I didn't need to make any changes. I just added a few more spices (paprika, oregano).

This was delicious. My picky eaters liked it. I didn't have quite enough salsa so I used what I had and added 1 tsp. of taco seasoning. I also used a whole package of yellow rice with seasoning (slightly less than 2 cups) instead of white rice. It was quite flavorful and made a very generous pan full.

This is a hearty meal, and also good with kielbasa. This doubles REALLY well.

i admit i was a bit skeptical of the ingredient proportions in this dish, but it came out FANTASTIC. I did make a few changes- Chicken broth in place of water, louisiana smoked hot sausage is all i had on hand, in sausage land, added a few cloves of chopped garlic, and finally a few squirts of of Chipotle Tobasco. Thank you for posting this, it's the perfect dish for a chilly 58degree day in phoenix! :P

This rice is very good!! I made this tonight & everyone raved at how good it was. It is very easy to make to. I used the tomatoes with the basil, oregano and garlic. It added a great touch to the recipe. I used salsa since I didn't have the chilli sauce and it was very good. This is a keeper & will be in our menu plan for sure! Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
