I've cooked this dish twice and I also doubled the rice each time. The first time I cooked it, my family liked it but I thought it needed more flavor. The second time I cooked it, it was Christmas dinner for fourteen people so I made some modifications. I doubled the rice, left out the celery and mushrooms, used 2 cans of chicken broth,instead of three;I used two cans of cream of celery, two cans cream of mushroom, one can cream of chicken. I also added a dash of cayenne pepper. Since I don't like chicken breast, I boiled,deboned and cut up six drumsticks and threw it in. Everyone loved it including my finicky 18-year-old nephew who even asked to take some home!

This is my new favorite. Although there is a little prep time, it is well worth it. I've served appox. 12 people and only had good responses.

This was delicious. I added Emeril's Original Essence seasoning to give it a little kick. It's a keeper in my recipe box!

This was great. I too doubled the rice and instead of almonds I sprinkled cheese on top after it was done and put it back in the oven for a few minutes. I was surprised at how the flavors really mixed together. Next time I might add a little bit more sausage too.

A great casserole. I had a 1.5lb of ground pork (no way was I leaving .5lb of meat to sit in my freezer) so I used that and per other reviews, used 2 6oz pkgs of long grain and wild rice. Other than those two changes, I left all the same. I stirred occasionally while baking and this turned out great! Very filling and good. Thanks Kathleen! I will make this again!
