We tried this casserole the other night using cooked turkey. I did not add the garlic or cheese. For a simple rice casserole, this tasted pretty good. my family has decided however that they are not fans of water chestnuts, so I'll be eliminating those the next time. I used Sociables for the cracker topping, it tasted quite good. I also used more parmesan cheese, probably about double the amount, I was having fun grating. I think I also used more rice than was called for~ I cooked 2 c of raw rice before adding it~ according to the rice conversion that would be about 6 cups, but I don't really think I would have wanted it any mushier, but that is just my preference. I served this with a salad with a maple balsamic dressing.
