Something new, fun, & tasty for the whole family! You can make your own flavorful design with a "saucy" topping, some of us used hot sauce, others used soy...to each his own & boy was it good.

This was good but I felt the cumin was too present in the taste. This was really just arroz con picadillo with a pretty presentation. A nice spin on making this look nice though

This was an easy weeknight dinner. I had leftover beef to use up (ground it in the food processor), and many of the ingredients here are pantry staples. Having said that I didn't have cumin and substituted chili powder. I'd probably put more potato in next time - I loved the crunchy touch it added. I used a 9 inche cake pan, and wasn't going to flip it thinking it wouldn't come out. It did, though - and it was pretty! I even flipped the leftovers (there are just two of us) back into the cake plate. Mission accomplished: something different from beef leftovers!

This was really super good! I added some salt to the rice as suggested by other reviewers. I also forgot to add the potatoes, so I just put them on top. I dont like ketchup so we didnt use that. Really yummy and cool looking recipe. Not very hard to make either!

I loved this recipe, hubby and kids only liked it, so 4/5 from me. It sure is easy, and I think the flavor is excellent! Plus it is a fun presentation and something really different for a weeknight. I often have hardboiled eggs ready to go in the fridge and that cuts prep time down to 'long enough to cook rice and smash it in a bowl,' about 30 minutes. Hubby found this dish to be on the plain side for his taste and ended up adding fish oil and chili oil and stirring it in (ew, but whatever, he had to eat it) and said that made it fantastic. I appreciate the opportunity to try this out and I will love eating the leftovers!

This was a hit. I have a very picky husband. I followed the recipe to the tee. However, I was a little aprehensive to adding the peanut butter, I thought it was a little unusaual, and I knew that he doesn't like peanut butter. But nontheless, he loved it and this was a great recipe. Make sure you have enough time to create this wonderful dish. It does take a lot out of you, but it is well worth it! Thanks for the recipe!

This is a fun recipe and I love how the flavors compliment each other. The presentation was great and it was filling. I used spinach rather than peas and it was a good substitute.

This is a really nice recipe. My whole family liked it. Just one change that I made (well two actually). I added salt to the cooking water in the rice. This recipe has no salt at all so for people on a low salt diet this is great. But I think if I didn't salt the rice it would have been really bland. The other thing I did differently was that I browned the meat in a separate pan and then drained the fat. The recipe was a little time consuming but worth it. A really delicious recipe.
