This was really good and really easy. It was snowing like crazy so I was happy to find that I had almost all the ingredients in the house. I left out the celery but doubt that made any difference at all. I do have to say it was a bit greasy so next time I think I'll try ground turkey.I would also suggest,especially if you plan on leftovers, more broth as the macaroni & rice really suck up the fluid. I like recipes like this because they really give you a lot of room to play. Either way this was a great snowy day dinner!

This recipe was just ok. I will make it again but with some adjustments. I think it was rather bland and I even upped the garlic. Next time I will use some of the suggestions from the other reviews. Flavored breadcrumbs,maybe Italian seasoning,a little more pepper.

I doubled the recipe and had to skip the brandy because I didn't have any but I don't think it made a difference. It was fantastic.Even the kids loved it, They want to know when I'm making it again! I served it with mashed potatos & steamed green beans. It was just perfect.
