We really liked the flavor of this dish and also the fact that it was so easy to make. I used brown rice and low-fat cheese (a bit less than called for), and otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I love that there is no "cream o'crap" in this recipe; with the fresh ingredients and low-fat cheeses, it is a fairly healthy and low fat meal. Will definitely make again.Reply
