I think next time, I'll use canned biscuits instead. The rolls were hard as a rock. Maybe a few minutes less in the oven would have helped.

This sounds delicious! But I think I will try using pie crusts and see how it turns out. I use the pie shells with Dinty Moore stew and make a beef stew pot pie which is also delicious.

this sounds good and easy! my kind of recipe for after work. Has anyone tried it with a sheet of puff pastry instead of the dinner rolls? I think I would like that better.

I am most interested in trying this recipe. Having the cheese in the sauce sounds especially interesting. Like some of the others I will substitute either peas & carrots or mixed vegetables for the broccoli. I only like broccoli that is ala-dente' and that is hard to achieve in a casserole. Thanks cminmichigan

O peas and carrots sound great I was wondering right away what else I could use besides broccoli, Thanks!!

Reviewed on Oct. 03, 2008 by Mamieon

yes I'll use individual baking dishes too. Since I don't care for broccoli I'm gonna use peas and carrots. I appreciate quick recipes too and this one sounds great!!! Thanks.

This looks great! I, however, am going to prepare this into individual baking dishes. My baking dishes are oval so that I can use two rolls each. Thanks.

You can only see the recipe if you are a subscriber.  Since I have a closet full of them, I no longer subscribe.  Can you post it?

This was very very good, but I will use just a little less cheese next time.
