Tops for quick and easy. I had to use 1tin of diced tomatoes, 1tin of tomato soup with 1/2 tin water to sub for the tomato juice also used pimento peppers and black pepper instead of chili. 2cups rice since I thought 3 too much. Also used ground chicken instead. All these changes were due to the fact I did not have all at hand and the chili was necessaary however didn't know I was out till to late. Also did put in some garlic with the onions. With all these changes it still came out pretty well and will make again with the correct ingredients except always will use minced chicken. I think minced soya will also do well like Yves brand.

Very easy and delicious. I made no changes and it turned out excellent! As another reviewer said, it's a bit like spanish rice or a (really) dirty rice. Very hearty.

Seemed to be a crowd pleaser. I had spicy V8 in the house, so used that in replace of the regular tomato juice it called for. Also didn't have any stewed tomatoes so I used a can of tomato paste. Also used ground turkey instead of hamburger. Was in a rush so after browning the ground turkey I put the rest of the ingredients in the pan and brought to a boil to heat. Then put in casserole dish with cheese on top and only cooked in oven for 15 min. I thought it was decent, but liked most that it was quick and easy to throw together.

I am not much of a cook, but my husband LOVED this. I used a can of tomato soup + 1 can of water in lieu of the tomato juice as I did not have tomato juice.

This was outstanding. My husband told me it was his new favorite. Even my three kids ate every bite and they are 5, 3, and 15 months. I added a jalapeno and used yellow bell pepper because that's what I had in the fridge. Very very yummy and super easy!!!!

yummy! i substituted the tomato juice for chicken stock (as i didn't have tomato juice), and it still came out nicely (but i think the tom. juice would have been better!). also, i added carrots into it also, which went really well with the beef, green peppers and cheese. it made for a great main course. or to make it vegetarian, omit the beef and double the veg. serve it with a side salad. perfect!

I am making this right now so we will see how it tastes when it's done...I'm making this because I had a lot of left over rice from yesterday and don't know what to do with it. I didn't have any stewed tomatoes so I just used diced and I don't have tomato juice either so I'm using sauce. And since I don't have any green peppers I just left them out. I added some garlic to the ground beef during browning too. I kept the rest of the spices the same except I added a few extra dashes of tabasco because we like spicy food. I think it'll be ok. I've made similar recipes before with rice and beef.

This was so delicious. I was looking for a way to use up some tomato juice and tomatoes that we had canned last year. This was a perfect dish! Will definitely be making this again soon.

Couldn't help but compare this to an old fashioned dish called Spanish Rice, alwyas good, always flavourful and a family favourite for years.

This dish surprised me in that it was a pretty good meal and so easy. We thought that there was too much rice so next time I will use half as much and I will double the cheese. The taste was good too but I wanted it to be a bit my flavorful and spicy so I would increase the spice just a little bit too.
