Veggie / Rice Casserole

1 pkg California Blend (broc!., caul!., and carrots)
1 pkg Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice - NOT the quick cook kind
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 small can water chestnuts (optional)
1 8 oz pgk cream cheese
1 cup cheddar cheese
Bread crumbs (optional)

Prepare rice, but using 1/2 cup LESS water and cooking 10 minutes less than directed on box!.

In a large bowl, combine cooked rice, vegetables, soup and water chestnuts!. Pour into a baking dish (a 9 x 13 pan is a little big for this recipe, but you can use it if you don't have something smaller - just adjust the cooking time down a bit)!.

Using a knife, cut off small pieces of cream cheese and push down into casserole in various places - I usually space it so ever inch or so gets a little cream cheese!. I find that I don't really need the whole package of cream cheese unless I've added more veggies to the recipe, but you can do it according to your taste!.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes!. Remove foil and pour cheddar cheese and, if desired, bread crumbs, on casserole!. Bake uncovered for an add'l 10 minutes!.
