I made this casserole for the first time many years ago. I just ran across the recipe I had cut from the side of the Velveeta box and decided to make it again. Strangely, regular Velveeta is a bit difficult to find, but do look. The end result is worth it. I made it over the weekend (even using instant meatballs, which were unheard of when I first made this recipe). Everyone, including my two year old granddaughter, loved it! It's good, hearty, and reheats well. The only change that I have made is to add one beef boullion cube to the water when cooking the rice for a little extra flavor.
