I've made this several times, sometimes substituting mushroom soup and chopped celery. Also very good.

Making *this* tonight. Noticed another's rate of recipe using sliced sweet sausage instead. Kielbasa available in our location is only 13 ounces, for a 16 ounce price. I also use broccoli instead of peas. Very quick and easy. Thank You.

I make this all the time and it is fantastic!! There's something in it for everyone, and its so quick and easy! I can't seem to ever get the rice part fully soft though, always a few crunchy bites but I'm working on it.

This was my first time making this recipe and it is absolutely delicious. It was super easy to make and will definitely be a go to meal for me in the future. I didn't make any alterations and it still came out incredible.

I've made this since it was published in 1998. I don't keep cream of celery soup on the shelf, so I make my own celery cream sauce and then proceed with the recipe. It's always been good. A family favorite.

This is one of my favorite recipes. It cooks up quick and my husand and sons love it! I, too, have substituted Cream of Mushroom soup for a change of pace.

Really love this recipe! It's my "go-to" when I'm running late and need a quick fix. I use canned peas and rice I've made ahead of time and stir it in at the very end. Works like a charm and my family is a huge fan.

Wow! My husband and I thought this was an awesome recipe made exactly to the recipe. The next time I made it I added broccoli, pearl onions, and tiny tiny bit of garlic and it was fantastic. The next time I made used italian sausage recipe exact again awesome. Then with chicken! Awesome. Thank you for sharing this recipe. A pure treasure!

This is a great meal when you need something quick. I use cream of mushroom soup since that is our favorite.

This recipe was well loved by my family, I did double the recipe and instead of using canned mushrooms I used fresh mushrooms. Yummy!!

Another keeper! I sauteed the mushrooms and browned the kielbasa before adding them to the dish to enhance the flavors. Wonderful meal for a cold, winter night. The family's only complaint is that there aren't leftovers to take to school and work for lunch tomorrow!

This recipe was simple to make and was colorful but lacking in flavor. I would recomend adding some garlic and a few other spices. I will experiment and report my findings.

I loved this meal! I would definitely make it again. I replaced the peas with broccili and it was delicious!

THIS RECIPE IS WAY TOO HIGH IN FAT & SODIUM!I WILL TRY TO LOWER THESE BY USING LOW-SODIUM, LOW-FAT SOUP, FRESH MUSHROOMS, LOW-FAT KEILBASA,2% FAT CHEESE & WHITE RICE.USUALLY MAKING THESE CHANGES WILL NOT ALTER THE END TASTE OR APPEARANCE OF THE REDCIPE. ENJOY EVERYONE.
