This did not turn out well for us. Liquid consistency. Ingredient proportions seem to be off. Maybe needs more rice, less cheese.

I absolutely loved this casserole. The next time I try it I will substitute the lump crabmeat for scallops, as the texture of the crabmeat along with the texture of the rice makes the casserole seem gritty. But everyone loved it!
