We loved this! I used long grain white rice and it was a little dry but GREAT tasting. I'll definitely make it again!

As is, 4 stars. With one reviewer`s suggestion to fry up some cheese cracker crumbs as topping, + another's suggestion to add milk (it's kinda dry unless you cream it up a bit), it's 5 stars, the kids loved it. Of course I also added some seasoning: garlic powder, worcester sauce and a drop of white wine to the cheese-soup mix, and parsley and paprika to the crumb topping. Will make again and again, I'm sure, cause it's easy! Thanks Paula for sharing.

I really liked this and so did the kids, my wife hated it tho, she took one bite and spit it out. But she prefers plain white rice...

Great recipe, I omitted the chestnuts and used crushed Ritz crackers instead of almonds to top it off. It was a hit that I will definitely be making again and again.

Yummo! I always leave out the slivered almonds. My husband requests this yearly!

I'm rating this lowly because I found it to be a mushy mess without any flavor. There was crunch here and there with the water chestnuts and almonds but overall it felt very uninspired. It's definitely a simple recipe and I can see where picky kids would like it. I would maybe make it again on a night I don't feel like cooking but have to eat something.

Made this for an Easter dinner--requested by our daughter. I used only one can mushroom soup and 3 cups cooked rice. Left out water chestnuts. It was delicious. Topped with the buttery cracker-butter mixture, as suggested by a reviewed, which was a great contrast to the texture of the rice-broccoli-soup combination. Just used a rolling pin to crush the crackers right in the sleeve. Worked great. Will definitely make this again. Could even add a little more broccoli, as it wasn't very dominant in the flavor of the casserole. But overall, this was scrumptious. (How do you spell that anyway? Hope that's right.)

Awesome! I switched the processed cheese sauce for my own homemade cheese sauce and it was amazing. My boyfriend (who is not vegetarian) loved it.

Very disappointed in this recipe. I was hoping it would be a scrumptous as the Broccoli Cheese casserole served at Cheddars with the added crunch from the water chestnuts. It turned out dry and tasteless so now Im trying to rescue it by adding more rice and more cheese and some milk.
