EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Meat lovers can stir in their favorite cooked meat with the rice mixture in step 3. Cooked ground beef, diced pepperoni, crumbled cooked bacon or cooked sausage all work well. Be sure to use a 3-quart casserole, though. This recipe is also perfect served as a side dish with grilled chicken or steak or tacos. It will serve 8 to 10 as a side dish.

Serve this meatless casserole with your favorite fixin’s, such as sour cream and chopped avocado or guacamole.

I just made this recipe last night. I didn't have chili powder on hand so I substituted cumin, oregano, and a little paprika. It was delicious! I would consider this a side dish rather than the main entry. I made some beans on the side and rolled it all in a tortilla and it was very filling. If I'm ever going to a party and need to bring a side dish this is a contender!

Very good meal. I added black beans and cooked it exactly as the recipe directed except I split it between 2 smaller dishes when I baked it. My fiance and I both really enjoyed it!

Yes, Michele, brown rice makes a difference The cooking time for brown rice is quite a bit longer than for white rice, so you need to factor that in. You may need to add some additional liquid, and I'd add at least 15 minutes to the cook time, then taste test for doneness. I usually use brown rice, but used white in this one. I'd add less cheese next time because I added ground beef and I don't think this dish really needs both.
