This was really great! I didn't use as much oil to saute the onions and used no butter with the topping as well as fat free Cream of Mushroom soup. This makes A LOT of food, but it was definitely delicious! I did add quite a bit of Lawry's seasoning salt because it did seem a little bland. Leftovers were also great.

Love the combination of ingredients. I made and froze it as we were just tired of ham after all the Easter ham. Took it out of the freezer last week, made the topping and baked it. Turned out really nice. Only complaint was that it was a little bland. Would definitely add more flavor (herbs, garlic?) next time. Thanks!

I agree with the reviews that there were too many cooking steps for this recipe. So I modified it a bit and it turned out wonderful. I used 1.5 c uncooked rice, raw broccoli, and added 1 c chicken stock, 1 cup milk to accommodate the uncooked rice. I covered the casserole with foil and cooked for 45 mins at 350 degrees, then uncovered it, stirred the casserole, and added a mixture of 1/4 cup melted butter and 1 cup of panko bread crumbs to the top and baked for another 20 mins at 375 degrees. Delicious.
