I made a short cut to this recipe because I did not have the 2 hrs for baking that it called for. I cooked the rice in the rice cooker, then put the rice in my pan of sausage, noodle mix,etc, mixed it all up, and poured it into a casserole dish and baked for 1 hour. The casserole turned out nice and moist, but, rather tasteless...at least for OUR Cajun mouths. My family asked me specifically NEVER to cook this again. LOL.

This punch is absolutely wonderful!! We followed the recipe exactly and invited friends over Christmas afternoon. It was such a hit. We even played with different food colors and added some to make the punch "green" for Christmas. Didn't change the taste, of course, and made for fun while celebrating!!
