I can quickly and easily put together this salmon patty dish at the conclusion of a long, arduous day. With little effort, it delivers a flavorful punch. My kids adore these salmon patties and frequently ask for them; occasionally, I’ll even prepare a few extra for their lunchboxes the following day.

Loved it! Used red and yellow peppers instead of green as I prefer the sweetness and extra color. Tasted great as leftovers too. Easy to make .
It’s a go-to but I use beef stock instead of water and spicy Rotel instead of canned tomatoes. It’s a great base recipe to which you can add whatever veggies your lil heart desires. Up those spices too!
There was something oddly sweet about this recipe that I found very off-putting. Possibly I used the wrong type of chile sauce? Either way, it was alright, but overall lacking in flavor intensity. Probably will not try again.
Really tasty ground beef casserole. I did add some extra seasoning garlic, onion powder etc. I did cut the chili sauce in half, (not good with really spicy) it had just the right amount of heat. Also used my cast iron skillet and had only one pan to clean, easy, fast and yummy I will definitely make this again.
i made this and it was delicious. Changes I made was i used reg white rice , added green onion with the sweet onion and i made this in a cast iron skillet and then put the skillet into the oven for convenience and flavor. Definitely will do this one again.
I used to make this as written and it’s good. However we like some spice in Spanish rice which this recipe has none. So I add extras for some heat.
Made this with some leftover ground beef and cooked rice. Followed most of the directions but didn’t need all the water to cook the rice. Let it simmer together. Next time I will add the meat to the rice to pull in the flavors. I also removed tomatoes since kids don’t like it and added jalapenos for some spice. Great dish for the family that is easy!
So easy. So tasty.
I really liked this recipe. I used Minute Rice instead of long grain rice and cooked it separately then mixed them together. It was very tasty.
I made this in a dutch oven. I used a whole red bell pepper instead of green, and used 1/2 cup of white rice and 1/4 cup orzo noodles since that was all I had. I winged the spices, and used salsa instead of chili sauce. I guess I really just used this recipe as a base, but it was delicious!
Enjoyed making it! Modified the recipe. Used Bush’s Best Chili Beans (pinto beans) Mild Chili Sauce instead of the 1/2 C chili sauce. Used one beef bouillon cube in the water. Wow.. it tasted delicious!
This came out so amazing my family was drawn out from there rooms with the smell. Tastes amazing!! Would make it again
I added a half tap of nutmeg at the end as I love the flavor in almost anything.
This was delicious!! I had rice leftover from a Chinese food meal, so I only added about a 1/2 cup water. I had no Chili Sauce, so I added more cumin and a little chili powder along with Ketchup. It worked!!
Very good, I used brown long grain rice & white cheddar. Otherwise followed the recipe exact. Only recommendation I would suggest is to soak the rice for an hour before, so as it would be a bit fluffier.
It was easy to make and I did use just one pan- my cast iron paella pan worked great. However, I thought it was a little bland and needed to add some hot sauce ( your flavor choice) when serving. I covered it tightly, cooked it on low, only stirred once as suggested and my rice was perfect. Finished off in broiler to get some nice color on the cheese
I have made this with shredded cooked chicken or ground beef. Delicious recipe
Simple, quick and delicious…with only a few tweaks such as ground turkey instead of hamburger, smoked paprika and smokey barbecue sauce instead of chili sauce
this recipe serves and tastes like the ingredient, used actually very good. The one caution is like that of most others submitted, if a component looks a little heavy or too much, you can always reduce the amount called for and add to taste as you mix and prep the dish I used a little less rice and added the browned beef at the end of the simmer then added a little water then directly into a glass baking dish with grated cheese and cilantro the simmer time took a little over 20 minutes thats the fun about cooking and trying other recipes, experiment
I made this as written except for green pepper, which I seem to taste for days after eating. Thank-you for the recipe, it was quite good. I used to make excellent Spanish rice, but kept “tweaking” it until it became nasty and I couldn’t remember where I started. This is very close to the one I used to make even though it uses different ingredients.
Very tasty dish, which we have made several times. My wife and I enjoyed. Fairly simple recipe. Most recently, I added a few red pepper flakes to give it a little more heat but it’s not necessary and more of a personal preference.
