Rated 1 out of 5 by mamakof3 from I tried!!!!!! My local grocer had this product on BOGO this week, and I purchased just one package to try for the first time. Granted, the convenience can’t be beat, but no matter how convenient it is, it simply does not taste good. There is a “factory” sort of smell and an off-putting flavor. There is literally zero broccoli. There aren’t even any noticeable green specks. I am thankful I did not purchase both packages, as I would have been throwing my money away, just as I am doing right now with the remainder of this package. Please Uncle Bens, bring the box back!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by RockyMtnGal from Terrible Smell & Awful Taste & Texture! Every flavor of these that I have tried has been awful. They have a really weird smell (maybe the plastic bag?). This has ZERO broccoli in it (I don't even know how they can make that claim) and has ZERO cheese taste. I can't describe what the taste is exactly, but it's neither broccoli nor cheese (imitation or otherwise). The texture is already mushy like overcooked rice. I'm a great home cook and have a very well developed palate (non-smoker). Sorry but this stuff is bland & terrible. I'm curious who is taste-testing this stuff and saying "oh, this tastes just like cheddar and broccoli." ?????

Rated 1 out of 5 by ILoveBroccoliAuGratin from Bring back the original boxed version, PLEASE Broccoli Au Gratin was seriously my favorite food, and when it was discontinued my heart was broken. I have about 25 boxes stockpiled which I have to ration out for the rest of my life, or until you guys realize Ready Rice is just plain not good and go back to making boxed rice. This just tastes like a plastic bag, and the texture is too soft. Rice you cook tastes way better than something you just microwave, I'll take the extra 20 minutes any day over this.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Unhappy from Worst Rice I have Ever Eaten I purchased this for the first time yesterday when my typical brand of cheddar broccoli rice was out of stock. I figured Uncle Ben's was a fairly reputable brand and should be an acceptable substitute. But boy was I wrong. First, the smell was off, and the color was an odd brownish tone you don't ever expect from rice. It was mush from the start. The taste was both simultaneously bland and horrible, which I never thought was possible. Attempts to doctor it failed and I threw it away. Who knew rice could ever taste that bad?

Rated 1 out of 5 by Karl87/ from Bring back the old recipe in the box! The box recipe was one of my favorites as a child and was still a favorite. This product now is awful! Please bring back the old product but until then I do not intend to touch this and no one should.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Honeycutt522 from Not as tasty as the original I tried the broccoli cheese ready rice because I couldn't find the original broccoli cheese rice in the box. It didn't taste as good to me, and I will not be buying it again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Chris from Not as good as stovetop version. Not nearly as good the stovetop cheddar broccoli rice that doesn’t seem to be available now. Very disappointed.
