This recipe was so easy and sooo good! It's much easier than making actual gulumpkes, and tastes exactly the same. So I will definitely be making this recipe again.

I love this recipe. I love cabbage rolls, but they are such a pain, that this gives me the same flavor only 10x easier. I make this all the time. The only thing I add is cheese on top. YUM!

I made this recipe a little differently and it came out pretty good. I treated more as if I were making cabbage rolls. I used tomato sauce instead of soup, I also used lots of pepper, garlic, a dash more of salt, and I increased the amount of ground beef. The concept is a great foundation for a recipe that needs to be dressed up to your specific taste.

YUMMY! I will be making this again. We loved it. I used tomato sauce not the soup also I added about 1/2 a cup of parmesan to the meat mixture it really gave it great flavor!

Great recipe - easy to make and tastes great! I did alter the recipe a tiny bit by using 2 lbs of meat instead of just 1 lb. I did feel that 2 cups of rice was far too much so next time I make this I'll cut it back to 1 cup of rice. (I prefer a meatier casserole). Next time I think I'll also add an extra can of tomato soup as I like mine a little more moist. This recipe made a large pan with plenty of leftovers! A great inexpensive dish for large families on a budget!

While this recipe looks good, didn't Kraft have another version that also had Jack cheese and eggs(to thicken)? Searching high and low but can't find it

My husband looked sqwimish when he saw me making this. He tried it and then eat 2 big bowls full plus told me to add it to the regular repertoire. So we'll definately be making this one again.

I made this for St. Patrick's Day, it was a hit. Everyone really enjoyed and it was fairly easy. I used 2 cans of diced tomatoes instead of the tomato soup and I actually think I liked it better with the the tomatoes. It's very filling and tasty.

I have made this recipe for a family get together and no one seemed to like it. I got stuck with the left overs, and ended up throwing it out. This recipe is tastless.
