After reading comments, revised this recipe b/f making - combined the veggies /w 2 cans low fat cream of mushroom soup & 2% shredded cheddar cheese, then topped /w cornflake crumbs mixed /w melted butter & maked for 20 minutes - very delicious

Well, i liked the veggies part....the cream of wheat is flavorless and it looks like a white jello. it needs something else to bind it together. I'm going to make it again but use a can of cream of brocolli soup and top it with low fat shredded cheese. that sould make it take like something.

I made this with brocolli and added 2 cups of cheddar & monterey jack cheese to the cream of wheat mix. It turned out very good. Next time I will try different vegetables and cheeses. I would think you could also change the cream of wheat to grits?

This recipe could be very good with some minor changes. The chicken broth cream of wheat mixture is very bland. The recipe does not call for enough Parmasean cheese to spice it up. This recipe needs to be kicked up a notch.

I was looking for meatless recipes.I was thrilled with everything except for the cream of wheat being as Im allergic to it. Im gonna omit that and experiment with this recipe. My hubby has 2 kinds of arthritis and its very hard to figure out what to cook these days being as he cant have any meats except for tuna.We love mushrooms and he cant have those either. after a recent flare up I did some research. Seems that I was feeding him all the wrong foods thinking I was doing right by cooking lowfat/low cholesterol/low carb foods for us. After a week of salads he is starving and irritable.Wouldnt you be too? Im ready to try new recipies that are all veggies. When you cant eat red meat,liver,seafood,mushrooms, chicken,turkey,pork,salmon or trout,and whole grains there really isnt much else left.

I like everything that's in it but it does need some garlic and some mild herbs since it is a bland recipe, but not too much or too many different kinds as it might be a good way to get kids to eat vegetables. Most kids don't like too much seasoning.

Sample the medley of flavors in this low-fat, low cholesterol, low sodium casserole. It's made with mixed vegetables, a rich source of vitamin A, and broccoli, a good source of vitamin C. Plus, the creamy wheat (enriched farina) hot cereal contributes a good source of iron.
