It was just okay for me. It was a lot sweeter than I would have liked. I guess it really just didn't taste like I thought it would.

Yum, yum, yummy!!! This was so super easy and quick to prep that I was sure I had done something wrong or left something out. I did not brown the meat in a seperate pan then transfer to the pot...I did it all in the pot and no draining. The only thing I added was a can of canned corn, drained, and it was delish!! This would be a perfect dish to make ahead, store in the fridge or feeze, to enjoy later!!! I was a little worried about some of the ingredients but when it all came together it was wonderful. My husband is VERY picky and thought this was very good!! Five stars from the entire family!!! Thank you so very much for a wonderful, easy, and tasty dinner!!!

Very, very good!! I love this receipe!! My family loved it. Because we like spicy food, I added some jalapeno pepper. I also seasoned with some zesty creole seasoning and added a couple cloves of garlic and a little pablano pepper. I used ground turkey instead of the beef and it turned out delicious. I will definitely be making this again and soon!! Great receipe!!!

I had this one in my recipe box for two years and finally got a chance to make it and I am glad I did. I had to add more water while the mixture was simmering since the rice was not fully cooked and there was very little liquid left. I also used a can of chopped tomatoes with jalapenos for an extra kick. Not sure if I liked the brown sugar in it but the family thought it was delicious.

Yum! Used brown rice instead of white, used salsa instead of chili sauce and added a can of black beans. Let it simmer for 45 mins.

This was great! After reading a few comments I did the following - used a dutch oven rather than multiple pans, browned the meat with a clove of garlic, used about a cup of green pepper and a full teaspoon of cumin. I used about 4 tsps of spicy thai chile sauce because that is what I had on hand. I covered the pot and simmered for 30 minutes and the rice was perfect. Didn't bother to bake at all, just topped with cheese and recovered until melted.

Turned out great and took advice from others and used salsa instead of chili sauce, and brown rice instead of white. I was worried that it would turn out too spicy for the kids but it was not at all and the family really liked it. Easy to make and filling!

My family loves this! I make it all the time. I took the advice of the reviewer from Costa Rica and added the spices to the cooking meat. Instead of water and tomatoes I used a jar of salsa and a can of enchilada sauce since it had been on the pantry for a long time and I wanted to use it. I made it all in a cast iron skillet.

I used a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes like another user said to and I will say that they were right! Also, I added two cloves of garlic. I had velveeta cheese so I used that instead. I also served with cilantro and a dollop of sour cream. Delicious! Would be good with tortillas too or chicken. I'm thinking add some spice and guacomole on the side and you won't have to go to a mexican restuaraunt for a good burrito anymore!

this is a good base for the makings of a great side dish. I used jalapeno instead of bell pepper, diced roasted tomatoes instead of chile sauce, fresh minced garlic and omitted the brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. I made the rice ( brown) in the rice cooker ahead of time to speed up assembly. I plan on making this again
