Reviews
I love this recipe. It was so good. I made a few changes, for example, I used fresh tomatoes instead of the diced tomatoes, and I added cilantro.
I substituted Italian Sausage for 2/3rds of the hamburger. I used my own canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, and fresh salsa in the recipe. Yummy!
Great recipe, easy to make, and does not require any strange ingredients. Everything I needed was right in my pantry.
Very good, I added garlic!
Change out chopped for crushed tomatoes, tomato soup for sauce. Forget the salsa and corn, add two cans of mixed veges. This doesn’t have to cook forever, maybe 15 minutes then add rice and serve.
The soup is as good as the brand of salsa you choose to put in it, I used homemade salsa. Definitely top it with lots of shredded cheese!
Lovely, the salsa taste really comes through so judge the spice level of salsa in it accordingly. Would probably add some fresh garlic and just put the rice in the soup mixture to cook next time.
