Made this with a few minor changes, brown rice instead of white, 4 cheese blend instead of monterey jack (not a fan), seasoned panko bread crumbs instead of stuffing mix for topping. All in all a good recipe but next time I will leave out the water chestnuts. Don't get me wrong, I do like water chestnuts but they just didn't belong in this recipe.

I learned how to cook since I was young helping my dear Mom in the kitchen.
Also like to combine ideas or ingredients from different recipes to create some of my own, so my dear husband and my family enjoy what I cook.
