Just made these tonight and the family loved them. I used minute brown rice (3/4 cup) and doubled everything else (used 1 broccoli cheese and 1 broccoli zesty cheese). My only problem was that my crescents stuck to the tube--guess they were a little old. Will make again. May even try varying the veggies inside.
