Wonderful...Easy...Fun..We love it. You can not go wrong..Had a Salad with it. Thank You -
Mmmmmnn GOOD! I made this for my hubbie, 3 yr & 15 mo sons when I had to work one evening. I used long grain brown rice, and it came out amazing! My DH couldn't refill bowls fast enough, which doesn't happen often with my sons. Has a dim-sum sticky rice kind of texture. This recipie is now on our favorites rotation.

This was good. I felt though that the cooking time was too long. Mine seemed ready at 4 hours and at 6 hours was quite mushy. I added some peas near the end to give it a little more texture. I also had to add a vegetable stock cube as the flavour was a bit bland. Overall though it was quite nice and makes good leftovers for sandwiches too.

I used the 2 pounds of ground beef and doubled everything else, and I used brown rice instead of white. Everyone loved it. Great recipe! -
I have made this twice and we have all liked it. I did not pre cook the ground beef. It was easier and it turned out fine. I also added a bit of cumin. The leftovers I used the following night as a stuffing for stuffed peppers.

Firstly my 2 and 4 yo loved it, was nice and soft. I found it too soft, maybe I cooked it too long? The rice was on the verge of mushy and it lacked flavour. I can't say I wouldn't cook it again, but if I did, I would use stock instead of plain water, I would brown the onions and mince with the salt and pepper and then place it in the cooker. I must admit that the onion and capsicum was a lovely flavour. Instead of chilli, you could maybe use a good chorizzo towards the end? -
Simple, but needs to cook most of the day. We used chunked lean chuck roast and fresh tomatoes instead of ground beef and canned tomatoes, but I think that probably improved it overall. Our rice was still crunchy at 6 hours and just barely done at a little over eight....
