Country Pie

Don't think people followed the instructions correctly. Pre-heat the oven and the meat will be cooked. How do you think Meatloaf is cooked? Rice was cooked fine and sauce was just enough. SEASON the beef as it is dry and bland otherwise...

My family loves this, and it is sooo easy to make!

I added some onion, green pepper and 1 clove garlic (minced) to the meat. Think the rice needs maybe 1/2 c. more spaghetti sauce added to it. Good flavor and very quick!

my daughter is a fussy eater but with this dish she eat it all and asked when I would make it again

Not bad. I had no problems with the meat not being done or the rice either. The only thing I will change for next time is to use more sauce. It was a little to dry for my family.

I love this recipe! I added chopped onions and green peppers to the raw meat (which cooked perfectly), and I used shredded mozzarella instead of Velveeta. It was easy and delicious and my family loved it! I can't wait to make it again!

It's great. Quick to fix and the oven does the rest.

This was very good, and very easy to make. I used mozzarella cheese instead of velveta. I was looking at the other ratings, and everyone was complaining about how it doesn't say to cook the meat first. Thats because when you put it in the oven the meat cooks in there. I agree that you shouldn't use uncooked rice, but you have to let the meat cook in the oven or it all falls apart. I made it once thinking that I was suppossed to cook everything first, but it all fell apart. It was still good, but it was no PIE. If you are making this recipe and you have ever made meatloaf, you know that cooking the meat in the oven like it says to do is fine.

I followed this recipe to the T and it turned out great. The meat was perfectly done, as was the rice. Actually, now that I think about it, I did add pepper and garlic powder to the meat, but that is the only variation. I find it odd that some posters meat wasn't cooked. I put mine in raw and it was perfect. Very moist and great flavor. The only thing I will change next time is to NIX the Velveeta! BLECH! The Velveeta didn't "melt" and tasted horrible. We picked it off. I will be making this again... it's SO easy!

I like this recipe. However, I cook the meat in the oven and my rice on the stove. When the meat is done I then mix the rice with the sauce and put it on top of the meat and then cut the velveeta into squares and place on top of the rice, meat etc. and then cook it for another 15 mins to melt the cheese. It turns out much better that way and I also can tell when the meat is done. Otherwise I like it when I do it my own way.
