This was a gloppy mess.I followed the directions exactly but the rice turned to mush. The taste wasn't bad, just standard comfort food that has too much salt and fat to be healthy. I guess if your serving people that can't chew their food this would be ideal.

This is a FABULOUS dish!!! My husband and I loved it. I made a few alterations though. I added some cubed chicken, a clove of crushed garlic, and a can of water chestnuts for extra flavor. I only used 1 flavor packet from the rice and used reduced sodium soup to cut down on salt. Any more and it would have been salty! Make sure to stir it up periodically otherwise the rice on top won't soak enough liquid and it will be a little crunchy. I cooked mine on low for 7 hours and it was done properly, but there was a burned layer on the bottom of the crock pot. Thanks for a great recipe!

Very, very tasty. I made it exactly as stated and it turned out wonderfully. Others were right, though, it made a whole crockpot full so we had leftovers 2 times. I will certainly make this again but only once in a while since it is sooooo fattening and full of sodium! (That's why it's sooo good!)

This is awesome! One change I made was to use unsalted butter, as the soup and the flavor packet add enough salt to this dish as it is. We really liked this and it makes a ton.

I really enjoyed this recipe and I will definately make again. I think I made an error in making it however, the recipe calls for 2 onions, finely chopped. I took this to mean regular onions and not what I refer to as "green onions"...well I thought it was a lot and only put in the one and still it had too much onion taste for me, but it was still good. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem since other reviewers didn't mention it or am I just "recipe-reading-challenged" not to figure this out...ha! I still gave it 5 stars as it was good and I know it will be a GREAT recipe when I use less onion.

New Twist for the LEFTOVERS..read on! This recipe is Delicious and very easy to make. I doubled recipe for a crowd, and thanks to the other reviews I only put in half of the seasoning packets (would have been way too salty otherwise). Here's a new twist...I had quite a bit left over so put whole crock into fridge, next day I added 2 cartons of Campbell's chicken stock and a bit of leftover turkey- slowcooked for about 3 hrs on high and got RAVE reviews on the soup! Next time I will purposely make too much so we can have the soup again. Try it, you won't be dissappointed!

I added chicken to this to make it a main dish. Good flavor, but since my work schedule requires longer time in the slow cooker, the rice was somewhat mushy--my fault, not the recipe's. Nevertheless, it was good enough to make again and I'm looking forward to the leftovers.

One of my kids' favorites. As recommended by another reviewer, I use 1.5 packets of the seasoning from the rice mix, cook less time than it says, and used light mushroom soup and half the butter. Still a big hit as a vegetarian entree.

I thought this was quite salty, but my coworkers loved it. I'll probably make this again, but with less of the wild rice seasoning. Also, mine was done in less than 5 hours on low, so your mileage may vary.

Great side dish. My husband raved about it. Next time I might use cheddar cheese instead to give it that extra kick. But, I will definitely be making this again.

It came out a gloopy mess and tasted just so-so. I even sauteed the onions and rice in the oil before putting everything into the pot. Will not make again.

I made this for Thanksgiving dinner. My only mistake was that I also had stuffing. This came out to the same consistency as a stuffing, and tasted much better! I made only two changes. I *hate* American cheese with a passion, so I made this with some leftover Mexican Cheese Blend (cheddar, jack, queso mexicano). And I cut back on the seasoning pack in the instant long grain and wild rice by 25%, so it wouldn't be TOO salty. Everyone loved this dish.

This is a good side dish. As another reviewer said, it makes alot so would be excellent for large family, potluck or when having guests for supper. If your family doesn't mind having the same side dish two days in a row make it with servings as given otherwise, cut recipe in half. I agree that sliced water chestnuts would be a nice addition if you like texture variety. I think I will keep several boxes of the instant rice mix handy in my pantry now. Almost forgot, it did take a bit longer for the rice to cook completely than recipe said so you might want to test out cooking time in your slowcooker before serving it for a specifically timed dinner.

I'm so happy to find a side dish recipe for the crockpot. I took this to work for a potluck and it got rave reviews. To cut down on saltiness, I will probably add only one of the rice flavoring packets next time.
