Overall, I thought this casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't be making it again.

I found this casserole to be a bit too dry. I think it would have been better with a can of diced tomatoes or some other type of liquid.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor. I also thought the rice was a bit too mushy.
