My husband doesn't like rice but I tried it anyway. He loved it. Even commented at bed time how good supper was. Served left overs the second night to my son-in-law and daughter - big hit. I did substitute crushed potato chips instead of the crackers. YUMMY!

We don't like broccoli but this recipe made it palatable. We did enjoy a comforting family meal. It will be in several packed lunches this week. The cost was approximately $1.50 per serving. That's a great value for today's rising food costs

My husband liked it more than I did. I added extra crushed red pepper and it was REALLY spicy! A great consistancy, though.
