Very good and Very easy!! I used a bag of shredded cheddar cheese instead of the sauce. I also put in 1 can of mushroom soup and 1 can of chicken soup. I didn't use the water chestnuts or almonds. It turned out really good.

Great dish! I did the ritz cracker topping as someone else had suggested and loved it. Another reviewer said this wasn't good leftover and I have to disagree, hubby loved it just as much leftover (and he's a pretty picky eater). :)

I too used crackers on top instead of almonds. Was a big hit!

This recipe is so simple and easy. Total prep/cook time including uncooked rice is exactly an hour for me. I omit the water chestnuts and almonds and used medium grain rice (stickier than long grain). It cost me $9 in ingredients ($4 of it is Cheez Whiz) for 8 servings... not high in value, but wonderful comfort food.

Absolutely delicious! I made it pretty much as written, though I chose 1 can cream of brocolli and 1 can cream of asparagus just because I dislike mushrooms. The processed cheese sauce I chose was Tostitos salsa con queso which gave the whole thing a spicy kick. It is so tasty I cant wait for the leftovers.

My fiance and I loved this dish. I originally had plans to cut the recipe in half, but I'm glad I decided against it. We quickly ate up the leftovers that I had stored away in the freezer. The only thing I changed was to omit the almonds and water chestnuts.

This was very good. I did not give this five stars because it needed a touch more seasoning. I served it for Thanksgiving as an meatless entree. I would definitely make againg,but with some more seasoning.

This has always been a big hit when I cook it. I try many different kinds of cheese and I always use fresh brocoli. I also have topped with ground walnuts, makes a great change to it as well. Mozzarella cheese works very well and cheddar is another one I mix in sometimes for a sharp taste. I once added sweet corn, it was good, but I think simplicity is better. Does not make a good leftover the next day in my opinion.

After a few modifications to this recipe it was excellent. I am giving it a four only because I changed some things. I left out the water chestnuts and the almonds. I used shredded cheddar cheese and cream of chicken soup. Great alternative if you hate mushrooms. In place of the almonds on top I took 18 round crackers, crumbled them and add them too hot melted butter in a fry pan to soften them up. Add those to the top of your casserole and it adds a nice buttery flavor and they crisp back up in the oven. (Great way to get rid of that half stale package of crackers thats sitting in your pantry!)This recipe defaults at 8 servings. I only made a 4 serving dish so be sure to double the crackers if you try this method.

This was awesome! I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. I followed the recipe exactly except that I omitted the water chestnuts and replaced the almonds with crushed cashews. Those cashews were awesome. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Really good and VERY EASY. I left out the water chestnuts and almonds, however, as I do not care for the "crunch".

I tried this last night for my boyfriend and I and we loved it. I did use 1 cream of mushroom and 1 cream of chicken soup and it came out just fine. I think next time I might add more broccoli because I love it. I also didn't add the water chestnuts because I didn't have any on hand, but it was just great the way it was. Thanks! I'll be making this again.

I made it for a party at a friend's house and people came back the next day for leftovers. Next time I make it I plan to only use 1 1/2 cans of soup though, it makes it a little salty otherwise.

Fabulous! I cut the ingredients in half, added 2 large chicken breasts, cubed, and omitted the chesnuts and almonds to suite my own individual taste and it turned out to be a tremendous success. I can't wait to see how the leftovers will taste tomorrow at lunch.
