I tripled the recipe, and added a few changes that other reviewers recommended. I added 3 huge cloves of fresh minced garlic and 2 c sliced mushrooms to a whole minced onion and 1/2 c real butter when sauteing. I then made a butter/flour roux, slowly added that into the chicken broth, heated while stirring, then added the ham (about a cup more than needed, to use it all up), carrots, mushrooms/onions and rice. My four picky kids and two guests raved about it! Also, I sliced a fresh loaf of sourdough bread, spread with real butter - that really topped it off right!!! I definitely think the changes made the difference between a 3 star and a 5 star meal.

This is pretty close to the recipe on the Stove Top Stuffing box. It's pretty good, enough of my family (7 people) liked it that we'll make it again. I added 1 pkg steamed broccoli and 2 c cooked white rice to the mix to make it stretch farther. My husband liked it because it reminded him of Tuna Casserole, I liked it because it didn't. Go figure! 4 instead of 5 stars because it didn't blow our socks off, but it was a nice change from my usual rotation of recipes. It's a very flexible recipe - you can add or take away as you wish and it would still be good, I think.

I put ground flax in a lot of things I make, so I thought this would be a great way to get more in our diet, but I was wrong. Tripled the amounts, made as directed, with a tad less water and had no gluten. Loaves came out light and springy, but the taste was awful. Gave it two stars instead of one because maybe it's just that my family's personal taste doesn't run towards flax, but it was bitter and a little... off tasting.
