This is a great recipe. I did it on high for 2 hours and then on low for another four hours or so. I, too, thickened it with flour before serving. The sugar, I think, is just right. You do need to add salt, though. It is a great slow cooker recipe--and there are precious few of those, in my opinion! Thanks for this recipe.

I rated this with 5 stars for speed and appeal to the whole family. The cheese is what makes it, according to my husband who enjoyed this dish even though he isn't a fan of rice. I, too, cooked the rice separately but other wise changed nothing. My only criticism is the taste of canned soup, so I'd like to try it with the mushroom soup recipe on this site that another reviewer suggested. (Of course, that would affect one of the most attractive features of this recipe: the speed.) I filed this under Quick and Easy recipes that I'll go to time and time again, I'm sure. Thanks for such a good recipe.

I was looking for a substitute for the grocery store granola bars, and this one is better in every way! Just sweet enough and very chewy. I didn't have any butter, so I used oil instead, and I've made several batches of them. I never make them without doubling the batch and baking them in a 9 x 13 pan. No need to try any other recipe!
