    I feel guilty for having used this recipe so often and not posting a review. It is wonderful and everyone who has tried it loves it. We even buy instant rice now in bulk, just for this. It is very spicy, but versatile. I have often omitted the chili powder and you could probably use mild rotel, instead of regular. In a rush, I also use canned chicken with great success. I also don't like to cut onions and flakes work just as well. Boullion cubes and water will save you if you run out of cans of broth. The only other tip I have is to stir the mixture two or three times while baking (before adding the cheese). This helps the rice on top not to dry out and become crunchy. We also like Mexi-blend shredded cheese on top. Overall - WONDERFUL, versitile recipe that is used all of the time at my home.

    This is very tasty! Next time I'll experiment and try adding some black olives and black beans. Without adding anything the dish is very yummy. I had no problems with the onions getting cooked enough but I also cut them as small as I could. Also, I took 1/2 the cheese and mixed it within the casserole at the end and the other 1/2 I sprinkled on top. I highly recommend doing that and using the whole amount of cheese the recipe calls for. It gave the entire dish great flavor! Leftovers were even better microwaved. Thanks for posting!
