You can get it to taste good if you change the amounts of just about every ingredient. Then it is no longer this recipe.

I also cut the rice by 2 cups dry and added chicken boullion to the rice as it cooked. This way there's no need to add butter or a much smaller amt. if one chooses to.

I like the easy recipe. I used cream of chicken soup instead. My only complaint it the amount of butter required for this dish. I followed the advice of the previous posters to reduce the amount of rice because it may come out too dry... I dont know. Mine came out excessively buttery. So I guess, if you cut the rice, cut the butter!!! p.s. if anyone knows how to fix up the overpowering butter situation, let me know!

This recipe came out very good when I only added about 1 1/2 cups of rice and I also added mushrooms.

Really good pot-luck dish. The almonds are a pleasant surprise to first-timers.

I have made this recipe for years, but with 4 cups of COOKED rice, that is about 2 cups of uncooked rice. Also, do not drain the canned mushrooms, and and rinse out the soup cans with a little water and add that. It is great! Please try it again.

I cut the rice down to three cups so it wouldn't be so dry and did not use mushrooms. It was good, but could have used a little more flavor.

I made this the other night and both my husband and I were disappointed. I read the previous reviews about it being dry, so I added 2 extra cans of mushroom soup and it was still so dry. I think besides adding all that soup, you have to still reduce the rice amount. I liked the idea of almonds, so I think this could be a real good recipe, once it gets tweaked a bit. My husband thought that the almonds made the rice taste even more dry than it already tasted, but I liked the almonds quite a bit. Thanks, will keep working w/ it til it comes out right.
