taste OK, but color and texture were unappealing.

I have to say, this had a good flavor but the consistency of cat food. I even reduced the mayo by half and did not cover while baking and it still came out mushy. Next time I would add at least twice the rice, if not more. I used brown rice and sprinkled some cheddar on top. The first bite wasn't so bad but neither my husband nor I could eat a lot more than that due to the gross consistency. I also used Tapatio sauce and left out the jalapeño. I like moderately spicy food and that was just about right. Will try again with massive modifications.

This was good and easy. I followed the advice of the reviewers and used half the amount of mayo. I added a little plain yogurt. I would make this again. I like the addition of the jalapeno

I was looking for a recipe for ingredients I already had on had. This fit the bill perfectly. My changes: I sauteed onion, garlic, and a mildly hot pepper. Together with a half can of pees, I added that to the mix. Also, I used Bird's Eye frozen brown rice steamed in the microwave (saves the step on cooking rice). I sprinkled on hot pepper flakes because we aren't shy about spicy hot foods. My husband is not too keen on casseroles, but he really enjoyed this! It is definitely a keeper. The recipe was not mushy at all. It might be because of the brown rice, which holds up a little better than white rice. It also is more nutritional. Since I am wheat intolerant, this is a fantastic substitute for the regular old tuna casserole.

Good base recipe. I always have issues with having rice come out cooked when I add it raw to casseroles. I used about a cup and a half of cooked rice from a couple nights before. I sauteed one onion, garlic and about a cup of shredded carrots and added that for a little more flavor, threw in about a cup of shredded white cheddar and sprinkled a bit on top before baking it long enough to warm all the way through and melt the cheese. I served the hot sauce on the side as I have two kids and they can't stomach super hot food. My kids and I liked this, my husband is on the fence. I think the whole amount of mayo is a little too rich, next time I might do half sour cream or yogurt. Like I said, good base recipe and a nice change from your typical tuna casserole. I'd make this again. GREAT way to use up your leftover rice from dinner the night before or from your chinese food order.

I used cream of chicken soup because I don't like mushrooms and sour cream because I don't like mayonnaise. Other than that, I made this just as written. It is completely different from any other tuna casserole I've ever had, so if you're looking for something new, this is a great recipe to try. It was easy to make and cheap.

This is ok. It would be better with half of the hot sauce. I used Tapatio so that might effect the spice level. But, I love spicy and this was barely edible. I was practically sweating eating this.

pretty good. I found the whole jar of mayonaise seemed a bit much. So I only used 1/4 cup. 1 can of tuna. Triple the rice. Excellent spicy flavor. Even the baby ate some!

Simply delish! I messed with the quantities of the ingrediants (double rice and tuna, not of the mayo or soup though) but it came out delish. I also used cream of broccoli instead, and instead of jalepeno or hot sauce, put some medium level salsa into it. Came out great!
