FABULOUS!!! Although I made a few changes for our family... I skipped the rice completely - and I used the Jolly Green Giant Frozen Broc. Cauli. & Carrots in Cheese Sauce... Plus I used a whole bag of Italian Style Meatballs and a bag or two of the veggies!!! Plus more milk/half&half to make it creamier!!! It makes a huge batch...but we love it sooooooooo much that it is gone before you know it!!! Super Yummy!!! =)

My son loved this but my husband and I were not fans. However, I may try this again and use less rice or try with noodles. Would have preferred more cheese sauce.

I loved this recipe. It is quick and easy! Very filling. Tastes great! I did add Worcestershire sauce, a bit more half and half.
