Folks go back for seconds of this meal-in-one casserole with its down-home flavor, rich sauce and golden topping. I always bring home an empty dish. -Ruth Andrewson, Leavenworth, Washington

Didn't really like this recipe.

I followed the recipe per ingredients with the exception of making an additional cup of rice and used red pepper chopped instead of pimentos. I also did an additional 3/4 cup of cornflakes and 2 T of butter.

Delicious.

This recipe was good, but needs a little more moisture even though the rice is already cooked. :)

Not good at all. I followed the recipe to the letter, but there wasn't much flavor to it.
