This recipe tasted just "ok" to me. Probably won't be making it in the future without some major changes.

I felt like you stole this recipe from me! I have made this out of a whim almost exactly, i did not add butter however... love it!

Ive been wanting to incorporate more whole grains into my husbands and my diet and this was absolutely perfect! It's extremely quick cooking and you can use anything you have on hand. But the cranberries were delicious. I also added green onions and chopped almonds. I substituted chicken broth for the water and boullion and added a tad of salt. Its fantastic.

This was tasty but pretty basic. I used half of a bouillon cube to avoid over salting. I also added some two tablespoons of flax seeds when I mixed in cranberries, added a little crunch and some health benefits;) Some things I'd try next time - 1. Chopping the cranberries up a little, 2. Trying this with bacon or mushrooms (although I'd cook those things first and then add bulgur and water), 3. Adding some spices, I could see butternut squash chopped up with cranberries and some cinnamon; or oregano with mushrooms.

I took the advise of other reviewers and cut the amount of chicken bouillon granules down to 1 teaspoon and I'm glad I did. One and a half tablespoons would have been way too salty. I also added some chopped green onions along with the dried cranberries. My husband didn't care much for this because he's not big on whole grains, but I thought it was quite good. I'd like to play with adding some other flavors. Thanks for the recipe!

Delicious alternative to rice. We served this with a chicken entree and it was a hit.

I've made it with and without cranberries - delicious! Instead of water and bouillon, I used 1 cup of low-sodium organic chicken broth. No difference! My 5 year-old even loved it!

This was wonderful! I used 1 tsp 'better than bullion' instead of the granules. I added caramelized onion along with the cranberries. I accidentally left out the butter (but had caramelized the onions in olive oil, so that brought in a bit of heart healthy fat).

I followed the recommendations of some users before me and used only 1 tsp bouillon granules and substituted margarine for the butter. I also added pine nuts, dried apricots, green onions and golden raisins and it was fabulous. A much more exciting alternative to rice.
