This recipe was AWESOME!! It reminded me of enchiladas and also spanish rice all in one. I generally follow the recipe but I normally halve it (6 servings instead of 12 as there are only 2 of us. We eat the leftovers for dinner the next 2 nights. These are HEARTY portions. Also, sometimes I use stewed tomatoes instead of whole tomatoes. It really doesn't matter. Other than that, when I halve the recipe I still use the full amount of onion (1 whole, chopped and garlic (3 cloves minced and the full amount of Turmeric (1/2t since it's so little anyways.

One big helpful hint is after the rice boils and you turn the heat down and put the lid on, it definitely takes my rice more than 15 minutes listed to be ready to stick in the oven. I would say that I at least double that (1/2 hour on top of the stove. I usually don't put it in the oven until most of the liquid is gone and the rice is ALMOST completely done (you can eyeball this yourself.

I've made this recipe three times, and my family loves it. I never knew rice could be so flavorful. I used fire-roasted tomatoes in the recipe. They gave the rice a delicious smokey flavor.

This was great! A nice change to my normal way of cooking rice (plain. Mine took a bit longer to cook, but the end result was very tasty!

Made this with Ree's tequila lime chicken and it was great. I cut the recipe in fourths and still have a ton leftover! I didn't have jalapenos so I substituted hot pepper flakes and it was fine. This is a keeper.

This dish is AWESOME!!!!! Only change was an added jalepeno for a little kick. Cut the recipe in half unless you are feeding an Army. This is a keeper.

This recipe is great. I only fixed a quarter of the amount of rice, but it is flavorful and very easy to make.

I used beef broth instead of chicken broth and I added leftover taco meat. My family loved it. We topped it with salsa verde before eating. Fabulous!

Definitely a great recipe and not much fuss. I did cook the rice completely on the stove, and then just broiled the cheese topping in the oven. Awesome dish......will half it next time.

The only change that I made was that I added more spice. Diced up a half of a jalapeno, no seeds. Totally delicious and my kids LOVED it!
