Cathy's Notes:

I came up with this recipe because we love the Creamy Four Cheese Rice A Roni and I needed a side dish for last years Thanksgiving dinner at my Mom's. The flavor from the Rice A Roni is delicious and adding the broccoli,mushrooms and water chestnuts took it over the top! Makes a great addition to your holiday meal or any family gathering! Enjoy!

Directions

In a large deep non stick skillet,cook Rice A Roni according to box directions.

In a medium pan saute' onions and garlic in 3 Tbsp. butter until soft.Drain

In a large mixing bowl add all ingredients and mix well.Add chicken stock as needed if it appears too thick.Pour into a large greased casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Made this last night. I didn't add the onion, mushrooms, or chestnuts due to picky eaters in my family...but it was a big, big hit. They all loved it.
