It is very seldom that every member of the family agrees on a meal, but this was a definite thumbs up from all of us! This recipe will be going into the meal rotation. Easy, quick, and with so many different possibilities. This time I prepared it as directed above, but let each family member put their own amount of shredded cheese, if wanted. My husband and son at their's with the cheese, I chose to go without. Thanks for a wonderful recipe that will be enjoyed by each of us time and again!
Delicious and easy-to-make recipe. Taste just like hamburger helper but a homemade version. Will definitely be making this for my family again!
