I thought that this was missing a bit as written. Bec mentioned that it was bland; since we hate bland food, I attempted to correct that beforehand. I added salt, pepper, and Recipe #16261 to the meat and vegetables while browning. I also used Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup with Roasted Garlic and substituted beef broth for the water. The cooking time, although unusually long, was correct. I uncovered the dish for the last 15 minutes of the 1.5 hours. The recipe doesn't say what size casserole to use. I used a 9 X13 pan, but it was actually too big, and would definitely go for 11 X 7 (possibly even smaller). After all the tweaks, it was still a bit bland. I guess this just isn't for us.

This was very good! I printed this out right when it was posted in February, but I was at college so I couldn't make it until summer came along! I used 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup (that and the chicken noodle soup were 10.75 ounce cans) and fresh onion and green pepper. I baked it for an hour and 40 minutes or so, and it was perfect. The only thing keeping me from giving this a 5 was that we all needed to add salt and pepper at the dinner table; otherwise, it lacked some needed flavor. It served 4 like you said (no leftovers!) Thanks for sharing!

This was a very tasty dish. I didn't have the chicken noodle soup on hand, so I substituted with a can of chicken broth and increased the rice to 1 cup.
