This is a favourite of mine to make for family get togethers! It's so simple yet flavorful. I omit the hot sauce and use whatever cheese I have on hand and it still turns out great! Super creamy and filling.

I was a little nervous to try this recipe but it was actually a crowd pleaser. Even for my kids who don't care for rice. I did also make minor changes. I sauted the onion in garlic powder, butter and salt and pepper. Then added 4 cups of water. I added basil so the water and a can of Italian spice tomatoes drained to the water and brought it to a boil. I put in 2 cups of rice and cooked through. I also used 2 cans of tuna. this fed 4 children and 3 adults with 1 serving left over. The layering of ingredients really helped to make every bite cheesy instead of just having a crusty top. I was a little concerned about tuna and Italian seasonings but the flavour was great such a good way to change up our fish Fridays (Catholics). I will make this again.

This is a quick and easy option if you love burritos and want to switch it up. I prefer sour cream to the mushroom soup but my kids and husband loved it. it was surprisingly not too salty and easy to double or just slightly increase for our large family.

So easy and delicious. I'm surprised I have never thought of this before. I used the salsa we canned ourselves from our garden last year. Thanks for the great recipe!!
