This recipe was exactly what I was looking for. However, I didn't have velveeta or the cheddar cheese, so I put in about 1/2 cup of extra sharp cheese spread and 3/4 package of cream cheese. I melted these two together with the 3/4 cup of half and half. I seasoned everything just as described, and did everything else exactly to the recipe and it was WONDERFUL. Well I came to write the review because I made the casserole for my husband and I, there's enough left overs for us to eat it a couple more times, and I liked it so well I'm going to have some for breakfast. YUM. Way to go, Mary!!! The seasoning was perfect. If I hadn't wanted to do this recipe exactly I might have omitted the carrots, but they were SO SO perfect in the dish with the cauliflower and broccoli. It looks gorgeous, too.

This recipe is so good. I am allergic to crab, but LOVE crab rangoon. Most of the crab rangoon I've ever had didn't even taste like it had crab in it, so I wanted to make a crabless version. I haven't made that yet, but I did use this recipe to make home made chow mein noodles and it fried up ultra crispy and good. Then I decided to make home made egg rolls from a recipe submitted by Mendy Ling and I used store-bought egg roll wrappers and I really do believe that this recipe would have made those egg rolls even better (and they were fantastic) than they were. Thanks so much for this great recipe.

This is a fantastic recipe. I used a bag of cabbage slaw (instead of dicing all the cabbage and it had carrots in it) and I used pickled ginger instead of fresh (because I had that handy)and it just turned out great. A friend and I whipped this dish up and we served it with hot Chinese mustard and sweet and sour sauce and soy sauce and it was FUN to make and delicious. One thing I could have done was cook everything until it was completely dry because the last couple of egg rolls were a bit too juicy (totally my fault, though). I forgot to get the bamboo shoots and my husband who's only ever eaten an egg roll at a restaurant actually MISSED them. So it would have been better if I had remembered to buy those and put them in as well. Thanks Mendy Ling!
