My whole family loves this. Does well at potlucks. I used about 1/2 or less of the butter. Full amount is too much, leaves a greasy feeling in your mouth.

I thought this was too salty and I wasn't a big fan of the combinations this dish put together. My boyfriend on the other hand loved it.

This is such a great side dish for nights you're in a hurry! I made no variations, it was delicious.

Like so many others, I found it too salty, even though I left out the soy sauce. I refrigerated the left overs with a cut up raw potato mixed in and it was fine the next day after the potato absorbed some of the excess saltiness. Next time I will add less onion soup mix and put in more spices such as onions, celery, etc. and it should be fine.

I am making this right now, and some other reviwers said it was too salty so I only added one packet of onion soup.. but I just tried it and it wasn't cooked enough/nor nearly flavorful enough, so I added the second packet and some extra water. I added one small chopped onion and some chopped baby carrots for more veggies and I didn't have noodles or water chestnuts so they got left out. I think this will be an interesting side dish that can be altered in cool ways!! I will continue the review in about 20 min when I retest it :) ok... so with the extra packet of soup, AND liberal soy sauce.. this finally has some flavor.. I don't know if I will make this again, but maybe! I think this would be better with the noodles..

My family really enjoyed this dish. I used chicken broth and served it with stir fry.

I halved the recipe. I used homemade dry onion soup mix in which I used low sodium beef bouillon (see this site for recipe). I added diced carrots and I think it would benefit from fresh mushrooms. I subbed water for half the broth and used beef broth. I used thin spaghetti, broken up and instant brown rice. I did not add extra salt and even with the low sodium bouillon it was mildly salty. I most likely will be making this recipe again.
