This was super bland. We jazzed the meat up to make it taste like meatloaf and used some basmati rice, but still was pretty bleh.

Terrible....a huge waste of food. This would take so much tweaking that in the end it is not worth the hassle.

My family thought this recipe was terrible. My husband kindly described it as "what I imagine the worst English food to taste like". I will never make anything resembling it again.

This was great - my boyfriend just loved it. I added onion while the hamburger was browning, used the entire can of Cream of Celery soup, and used a sundried tomato five cheese blend for the topping. This recipe is definetly a keeper!

This was AWFUL! My family hated it. I even spiced it up a bit and it was still awful. What a waste!

I agree with everyone else, this was very bland. I even loaded it up with spices. The rice and meat was just too much and it just came out with no flavor. It has a lot of good stuff to it for a wholesome one dish meal, but I don't even think it's worth tweaking.

It was easy to make, but kind of plain. I had frozen broccoli and cheese used that instead of frozen peas and I put onion in the hamburger. I thought it was pretty good that way.

It is very bland. My rice got very dry on the top. I would definitly add some flavor to the beef mix and possibly cover the pan with foil for most of the baking.
