This great recipe was given to me by a friend years ago, and it's been a family favorite ever since. My daughters enjoy making this dish in their own homes and get the same enthusiastic compliments I always do! For a change, I sometimes substitute frozen carrots for half of the broccoli.

The taste was okay. The texture of the dish was too heavy initially. The next day's leftovers left me bored and uninterested. I didn't care for this dish and will never make it again.

My family liked this a lot. Sherry flavor was a little strong, might use half sherry, half water next time. I used whole milk, and it was still very rich and creamy. Also felt it could use more rice- maybe they meant 1 c rice, cooked? I think you could use 2 c of cooked rice with all the sauce it made. Overall a good recipe, especially for company. I would say it actually would feed 6-8.

This is really rich, but very tasty. The only change I made was to add a bit of black pepper to the sauce. I will make this again.
