This was very good. I made this a lot easier though. Bought diced tomatoes with green pepper already in them. Only needed to use 1 pan as well. Brown ground beef and drain. Add all ingredients, including uncooked rice. Simmer covered for 15-20 minutes. Put cheese slices on top and they melt just fine. Rice will also be cooked.

I added Worcestershire sauce and garlic to the meat, but it just tasted too tomato-ey still, so I added a can of kidney beans, and served over tortilla chips, and then people liked it. Even my 2-year-old! But I think the chips made it, really.

This was a good recipe. I added creole seasoning to the ground meat while it was cooking. I used salsa instead of the diced tomatoes. I also added cumin and red pepper flakes with a touch of paprika to the beef mixture in addition to the chili powder with a couple more dashes of creole seasoning. I didn't have any cheese so I had to omit that, but I can tell that it would have put this dish over the top. I really liked it. My 3-year-old didn't, but she's picky so that's not saying much. :) This dish tastes like spanish rice with gound beef and cheese.

We just got done eating this so I thought I'd write a quick review. This was pretty good with the changes I made based on other reviews. I added a large clove of garlic, minced, a can of drained black beans, and a large red pepper instead of green. I used the full 2 tablespoons of chili powder, and did NOT drain the diced tomatoes. Maybe the person who said the result was soupy didn't drain the grease out after browning the ground beef with the peppers and onions. I used plenty of salt and pepper but still think next time I make it I will add some worchestershire sauce. Don't get me wrong, it was more then edible; my son had 2 helpings! It just could have used a touch more zip. Thanks for a good base recipe...an update 11/12/08: If you are using a good brand of chili powder, you may want to cut back to one tablespoon...the first few times I made this I used "bargain" chili powder (.99)and 2 tablespoons was fine...this last time I used McCormick's and 2 tablespoons made it a little too spicy for us. Oh, also, I used muenster cheese, because that's what I had, now THAT was good.

I was unsure of making this at first but i added a can of kidney beans and used a bag of mexican cheese instead of slices. I omited the green pepper due to food allergy and it was yummy, my 14mo old handed me his plate for some more. He loved it, so did my 11 and 5 year old, and then theres my hubby who said you can make this again its a keep sweetie! Thanks for the great recipe.

Very satisfying. I added a can of black beans and didn't top it with cheese to cut back on cooking time. I served it over corn chips. My two-year-old said, "Thanks for the yummy food, Mom." Leftovers are great with just a little bit of mayo. Makes tons!

Excellent! Didn't have any green pepper on hand, so I doubled the onion. Turned out great...very simple, inexpensive, and filling! I will definitely be making again!

Ok, this is really really good. I just got through eating this and I was actually impressed. I did take the advice of another member and added some Ranch Style beans and put it over buttermilk cornbread-YUM! I also put a dollup of sour cream on top of it all. As far as tweaking the recipe, I used 2 cups of water and 2 cups of rice, I added several dashes of worchestershire sauce. I also used diced tomatoes that had peppers and onions already in them-but I did brown the ground beef with a 1/4 of chopped up onion. I also put in a teaspooon of celery salt and used a WHOLE 14 oz can of tomatoe sauce. Over all, this is an EXCELLENT recipe. My daughter, husband AND myself all went back for seconds! My daughter ate her seconds with tortilla chips for a change and she said is AWESOME! This would be very good in a slow cooker this fall!

My mother used to make this when we were kids. After I got married I tried to make it for my husband. My mother never showed us how to make it and I didn't have a phone to ask her how. I also didn't know what it was called so by trial and error I made it using my memory of what it should taste like. My mother never did know what it was called and I thought she just made it up. Imagine my suprise to stumble on this old family recipe on this sight and finaly have a name to give it when I serve it to my family. Thank you

This recipe is great. I do use ground turkey in place of the beef and shredded cheddar cheese in place of the American cheese. My kids love it and ask for it often.

Great recipe! I made this the other night for dinner and my family is already asking me to make it again. The only change I made was that I used Provolone cheese instead of American.

I was surprised at how good this was! My changes, I used long grain rice with cilantro added "cilantro rice from my page", Added cilantro to meat when cooking, added a can of peas and carrots, and topped it with fresh chedder and colby cheese. Really good recipe. My suggestion for future preparation is to add a tamale type crust. This would really bring it to life. I highly recommend that more people start experimenting with fresh cilantro. It really ads to many types of dishes....Good eating!

This makes plenty, I put it in two 8" square pans and froze one. Of course you don't have to use instant rice, I used regular long grain, because you cook it first so either one works. It seemed like a lot of chili powder for my taste, so I cut back on it and added some cajun seasoning instead. All in all, I'd make this again.

Very easy to make! I used 2 cups of rice, because 1 just didn't look like it would be enough. I also used a frozen bag of Gumbo Vegetable Medley, which is basically peppers, corn, and okra. Dethawed the frozen veggies by putting them in a pot on the stove with 2 cans of Roasted Red Pepper Diced Tomatoes. Mixed the cooked beef, cooked rice, and veggies in a large casserole dish and topped with a bag of Colby & Monterrey shredded cheese. Only put it in the oven for about 10 minutes, to melt the cheese since everything was basically cooked. Instead of chili powder I used quite a bit of Garlic Pepper because we love the stuff! Will make again!

This is a simple, easy, quick dinner and my kids loved it. The only thing I did differently was I added black beans and 2 cloves of garlic. I also added a packet of mild Chili seasoning because I felt it was a little bland. Instead of sliced cheese I used a fiesta blend cheese in a bag and sprinkled it liberally over the casserole. Thanks for the recipe it's a keeper.
