    Very healthy, very filling, and tasty. Satisfies the "comfort food"craving without cramming in fat and calories. I used veggie cheese - yum! - 8/2/07

    My kids ate this pretty well. No real complaints which is a winner. As for me, I LOVED it! I wasn't sure if it meant one cup rice already cooked or one cup dry. I used short grain non-instant rice already cooked up and it was more like 2 cups. - 10/2/07

    This was quite delicious. The only reason I probably won't make it again is that it is so filling that I barely ate any and it doesn't seem like it will reheat well. I would recommend it for a family meal. Very easy to make. I added breadcrumbs to the top. Thanks ELMNOP! - 9/3/07

    I used fresh broccoli and 5 Laughing Cow cheese (35 cal each) wedges instead of Veelveta.

    Very Good. I will make this again.

    This recipe is wonderful! It was easy enough that I didn't screw it up (which is really saying something) and it was delicious! I DID trade velveeta for a combo of sharp and garlic cheddar cheeses, I left out additional garlic, and I added mushrooms :) - 6/25/10

    Delicious and easy to prepare. I substituted vegetable broth for the mushroom soup and used shredded mozarella cheese instead of velveeta, almond milk instead of cows milk. Also doubled the rice portion. Topped with salsa. - 2/18/13

    Really great. I'd definitely make it again. I think the recipe could be more specific about how to combine everything (slice up the cheese? etc) but I figured it out just fine. Makes a lot of food. Yum! Also I subbed fresh broccoli and I used cooked brown rice. - 7/5/10

    Amazing!
    My dad ate a lot of it, and he was wary of the tofu, but he loved it too - he ate about half of it!

    This was wonderful - I doubled the onion and garlic since I love those tastes. Next time I think I'll add a little more milk, as the rice was still a little crunchy. - 3/23/08

    This was great! It was my fist time ever using tofu. To me it kind of seems more like a side item though. It's super tasty, filling, and low in calories so I love it! - 12/12/07

    I also used silk instead of milk (it's all I had) and found it very delicious, and nice and creamy. It has a ton of broccoli in it for your veggie servings, and perfect as healthy leftovers for lunch the next day. - 7/30/07

    This was suprisingly delicious, and quite filling. I did make a few alterations: I used white rice, soy milk, edam cheese, and a "cream soup" substitute (because I hate mushrooms!) Still turned out really nice. - 11/18/16

    Made this recipe the other night after looking for an "intro to tofu" recipe. This was my first time cooking with tofu and this recipe made it easy and tasty! I don't think my husband would have known it was a tofu casserole had I not told him! - 11/19/12

    My first time really cooking with tofu. Have been searching for a recipe for a long time. I LOVE it! Great alternative to mac and cheese. Very versatile too as you can change up the ingredients. It's a hit! - 10/23/12

    I added substituted fresh broccoli and jack cheese and added mushrooms to the saute step. I microwaved the cut up broccoli for 2 minutes each for each crown and stem, this cut down the oven time. I cooked covered for 20 minutes and uncovered for the last 10 minutes. Broccoli cooked, but not mushy. - 9/1/12

    My kids ate this no problem. We ate this no problem. Loved it. I used a "regular" can of soup (because I didn't have the other kind on hand) and fresh broccoli. I had to add celery too because we didn't have enough broccoli. We also used grated cheese, not velveeeta, but it was very very good. - 8/17/12

    very good i think i learned the trick to tofu is to really fry it with the veggies before putting it in a casserole dish , it stays firmer that way. Excellent dish for a tofu lover, ok dish for non someone learning to like it ( spice it up or cut the amount of tofu in half for newbies) - 8/8/12

    It was OK. My oldest child thought the Tofu was great, but was turned off a bit by the cream of mushroom. I think it makes a nice side dish. - 1/28/12

    This recipe was really good! I think 2 bags of broccoli was too much, at least for me, so next time i make it i will add spinach or something else. Great recipe and it was great reheated too! Thanks! - 10/2/11

    I lked this recipe. It would be even better if you gave some guidance on how long to saute, suggested precooking or presoaking the rice otherwise it doesn't cook fully, and maybe specified small tofu cubes. It reheats perfectly. Would make again but add more cheese, onions and garlic. - 9/15/11

    I am not a fan of Velveeta or mushrooms, so I subbed in grated sharp cheddar and low fat/sodium cream of chicken soup, and fresh broccoli. It is very good and quite filling, but it definitely needs more spices. I doubled the garlic, added garlic powder and more pepper and still felt it needed more. - 6/20/11

    Pretty good....I thought the garlic taste was out of place though...next time I'm making it with no garlic and maybe some cilantro to flavor the tofu. - 2/20/11

    The tofu texture mixes in well with the rice. I subbed the velveta with shredded low fat cheddar cheese and added 1/8cup of greek yogurt to give it a little more creamy-ness. I really enjoyed eating it. If you dont care for tofu you could sub chicken or just take it out. Any way you do it its good! - 2/14/11

    We enjoyed it... even the eight year old (and the dogs). We're thinking of other possible ways to serve the broccoli mixture without the rice. Served it with noodles this time, but perhaps a potato next time. - 2/6/11

    Use 60 gms sharp cheddar for similiar calorie count. Parboil fresh broccoli and use 1.3 cups already cooked rice. Could use some seasonings to jazz it up a bit. - 2/3/11

    Super delicious! I wasn't sure what to do about the cheese while mixing, but I found I was able to mix it in after baking. Will definitely make it again, and maybe add more veggies! - 9/8/10

    So this is different than anything I have ever made, so it being new to me and my family I have to say that it was not the best, but it actually was not bad. You don't really taste the tofu and as long as you like broccoli it is not bad at all. - 6/13/10

    I liked this recipe; however, I will try to add an additional cup of rice and milk next time I make it just to have more rice in each bite. - 4/3/10

    Not sure what to think. I also added raw onion on top of the cooked & used fresh broccoli. I will add way less oil to it. I also added red pepper flakes & some italin seasoning along w/ replacing velveta w/ sharp cheddar cheese. Thank you. - 2/2/10

    I just wrote out a recipe using this as a guideline and will add some seasoning. But, It seems to me that cooking it at 325 for 30 minutes would be enough. I'll have to see and let you know. - 10/6/09

    My 11 year old daughter loves Tofu...she loved this. i made some modifications based on her preferences and what i had handy....I used cooked non-instant brown rice, fresh broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese and Campbell's Tomato (low sodium) soup instead of mushroom. She was thrilled with it! - 1/7/09

    Next time will add some more seasoning of some sort, but pretty good since I'm not a casserole eater and have never liked broccoli. Added some sour cream to my bowl to up my calories for the day and that helped. - 6/26/08
