This dish was a life saver! Had to prepare for a Holiday potluck at work and I was able to get this dish together in no time at all. Made a few changes--Spiced the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt. Used monteray jack and cheddar cheese because I like a little more zest. For a change, I have also substituted spinach for broccoli and nixed the mushrooms. Love this dish!

Cheesy Tuna Dinner

Excellent in terms of time (it's quick!!), taste needed some work. Here's what I did: instead of saucepan, I used a deep skillet for preperation. I sauteed the tuna in melted butter and seasoned w salt and pepper. After adding the milk & cheese, I seasoned the whole thing with garlic salt. For the garnish (to add some crunch)I put some Ritz crackers in a sandwich bag and crushed them (just a bit) then added about 1/2 c shredded cheese, shook it up and spread it on top. Put the pan in the oven on broil for about 1 minute--made it more casserole-y. Tasted better the next day!

Great recipe--so tasty. Added diced yellow & green peppers, green onions, can of refried black beans (soup was too thin), and some garlic salt. Added rice when serving...will make this again!!

Quick and easy to make! I doctored a bit--used whole boneless breasts, sauteed in olive oil/garlic/seasoned w onion powder and sea salt. I added the cream cheese, broth, spinach, and since I did not have tomatoes I used some left over pico de gallo. Let it simmer for about 15 mins. Served as a topping to the penne. CAN YOU SAY DELICIOUS!!?

Tasty. A little too cream cheesy. Made a few additions: 3 chopped green onions, to the sautee. Then once onions were tender, I added 1/4 c of the pasta water, and 1/4 c chicken broth. Kids even ate it and asked for seconds!

Really good, I made a few alterations: used half ground beef/ground Italian sausage, increased cheese- added 1/2 c shredded cheese to mix. PERFECTO!!! My 6 yr old cleaned his plate!

I thought the meat was a bit bland & greasy. I will make this again, next time I will heavy up on the seasoning and drain the meat prior to adding the water.

If you add a packet of taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of salsa to the meat--this recipe will be a 4 out of 5 stars! :)

Only 4 stars because mine stuck to the pan. I'll use non-stick spray next time. Made four following the recipe for the adults and wow they were good! Improvised for a kid friendly version (5 more "muffins") by putting the cheese and meat (added 3 pieces of ham lunch meat, diced up) in 5 of the breaded tins first, scrambled 4 eggs and distributed a 1/4 cup of the mix , then topped each with the heavy cream. The scrambled version only needed to bake for 20 minutes. Kids gobbled them up!
