This was not a hit with my family... We like crisp veggies - and the way this called for made them way too mushy. Perhaps using fresh broccoli would be a solution - but I wasn't a fan enough to even try the substitute.

The original recipe calls for mozzarella cheese, which doesn't give them much flavor. I substitute sharp cheddar and also add a bit of parmesan. They're great with a little bit of hot sauce or Tiger Sauce!

Very easy to make, not much flavor. Added some extra spices.

THIS RECIPE WAS FANTASTIC. WE SHOULD HAVE DOUBLED THE RECIPE IT WAS SO GOOD. WE USED SILICONE CUPS TOO AND IT WAS EASY TO GET OUT. WE HAD IT WITH BAKED FISH AND A SALAD FOR A GREATY HEALTHY MEAL.

These are great. My mother and 5 year old argue on how many she can take home with her. Definitely add more ranch than is called for. Also salt and pepper.

This was good, I would make it again because my kids & husband liked it, however, I think I would maybe add a little more Ranch for more flavor, & possibly add some more cheese, or try Cheddar.

I made this recipe for my family and they all loved it. My family is picky and I picked this because we all love rice, cheese, and my huband and I love broccli. I took the recipe and split it into two. One half had the broccoli and the other half (for the kids) didn't. It is definetly one that I will make again. Thank you so much. ~Angie~

I made this recipe with mild cheddar and monterey jack cheese. These were so good, even my 3 year old (who is an extremely picky eater) loved them. I will definately be making them again. Don't forget salt and pepper!

I make this often as a side dish... and change it up each time! Instead of the broccoli, I have added other vegetables as well as shredded deli meat or cubed ham. It's a big crowd pleaser! They also heat well as leftovers! We call them hockey pucks.
