My husband and I absolutely LOVE this dish! It is very tasty. Take some work, but well worth it. My only critique is that I wish the recipe made more filling! Other than that it has been a hit with everyone I've made it for. Also the recipe calls for low sodium chicken broth. Make sure you stick to low sodium. I accidentally bought regular and thought it wouldn't made too much difference, boy was I wrong. It was SO salty! But that was a chef error and not the recipe itself.

I was surprised at how delicious this came out! It's such a great comfort food that I know I will be this making again in the future. And it's actually simple to make. This would be the perfect dish to impress family or friends. However next time I think I will make the rice layer just a little thinner. Use a whole pound of whatever ground meat you want and some more bread crumbs on top. I still can't get over how incredibly good this was!

I received a subscription to the Food Network magazine for Christmas from my sister, and I decided I would prepare at least one recipe from each magazine, this is one of the recipes I chose from the March 2011 edition. It was delicious and got rave reviews from everyone, especially my 20 year old son. As a few other reviews stated, the best part of this recipe is that it can be adapted to fit anyone's likes (or dislikes, it is incredibly versatile. I really enjoyed it with the sausage, but I can see myself trying ground veal or even lamb. I will be preparing this again tomorrow, and I will try preparing the rice with low sodium chicken broth in place of the water. My best advice..try this recipe for yourself!

I just made this last weekend and it was a hit! Not too hard to make and it looks beautiful. I modified the recipe a bit, adding spicy chicken sausage and ground beef instead of pork sausage. Honestly the best parts of this recipe are that 1. It looks more complicated than it is... 2. You could modify it with any kind of filling, which is so versatile and fun.... 3. You can assemble it ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to cook.

This was much easier to prepare than I thought it would be. I used ground beef instead of sausage. I also used parmesan cheese since that's what I had on hand. I used an 8" springform pan and didn't have any sauce left over. It could have definitely used the extra sauce, which is why I didn't give a 5 star rating. Other than that, this dish is incredible. I can't wait to make with all sorts of different fillings... Chicken Tika Masala is next :

I liked this a lot and I'll make it again one day. I didn't have any leftover filling for sauce because I only had an 7" or 9" springform pan and opted to use the bigger one. It was sill completely filled, even with a bigger pan than the recipe calls for, so it seems that one could make a little less rice. When I make it again, I'll try to make extra filling so that I'm sure to have some leftover, not fill the pan all the way, and maybe make the rice itself with some chicken stock instead of just water to give it a little extra flavor. Still, very good and fun to make!

This was a really good meal. I served this for dinner, and got rave reviews. Like others, I used a layer of cheese on top of the filling, and didn't have enough for a sauce. That said, it didn't need sauce over the top. It may have been because I only used have as much stock. I had a feeling the 3 cups were going to be too thin for my tastes. I also used cilantro in place of the basil, which worked very well. I look forward to using this as a jumping off point. I think the filling could be replaced easily. I plan on making a chili dog timbale based on this for a get together next weekend, and my wife has already asked that I fill it with sweet and sour chicken. When I do that, I will drop the cheese, possibly lining the inside with lettuce and dusting the pan with sesame seeds.

I made this last week and it was great. It's definitely something for the whole family and not one person. I do wish the sauce was a little bit thicker but maybe I should added a couple more ingredients. Nonetheless, I'm going to make it again.
