This recipe was ok as a base. I was disappointed at first cause there was no taste to it. I have a big family so I doubled the recipe, added potatoes o'brien (28oz. bag) and taco seasoning, my fiance wont eat onions, so I puree them. This recipe still needs some fine tuning. But my family said the way I modified it wasnt bad at all. everyone had seconds. My fiance had a third helping. I'm not yet satisfied with the way it came out and plan to fine tune it. OTHER THEN THAT I LOVED HOW EASY IT WAS TO MAKE!!!

Once I added all the ingredients, I was skeptical that the rice would get cooked, as there was hardly any liquid. But, I followed the directions. Turned out just right. If you make sure the heat is turned very low and make sure to cover tightly, the rice will cook without added water. It is also probably more flavorful without adding water. My husband really liked this. Very easy to make with things I always keep on hand. I did add fresh onion and garlic, however.

It was very delicious with some minor changes. I followed the advice of other reviewers and added two cups of water. I also added in about 1/4 cup tomato sauce to enhance the taste and flavor, and some extra rice to feed my big family. But over-all, it was a nice recipe.

I have tried many recipes from this site and this one has been the only one so far that I did not like. It did not have enough flavor. I won't make it again

We eat this at least twice a month - everyone in the house loves it. It's easy to adjust, too. I always add about a cup of water and sometimes some ketchup and/mustard. It's great every time!

Super Tasty! I didn't have any green beans, so used red bell pepper - and it was awesome! Additionally, I used A1 instead of War sauce - and it tasted great! Double up the recipe if you have a big family though. It barely served my small family of 3.

My fussy husband actually liked this dish. I thought it was very good too. I added some green pepper and instead of a second cup of water, added a second can of tomatoes. I will definitely make this again.

I added 1 cup of water, and simmered it for 30 minutes. I'll definitely make it again.

Great Recipe. The only change that I made was to add 2 cups of water (one initially and one about 15 minutes later) as a previous reviewer suggested. Thanks for sharing this one!

We both loved this recipe. The only thing I had to change was I had to add two cups of water (one cup after about 15 minutes, and another 15 minutes after that) to prevent everything from drying out and to help the rice cook properly. I used a milder "hot sauce", so it wasn't too spicy. We will definitely make this again!

I just loved this recipe, although it was a little too spicy for my little girls, I ended up having to make them grilled cheese. I will make this again , but w/ less hot sauce next time.
