I liked this. Very easy. I added some chopped onion and used frozen broccoli and I added some diced ham for a one pot meal. Oh also threw in a spoonful of sour cream to up the creaminess as i didn't have quite the amount of cheese stated. I cooked it 20 minutes though. I think that might solve the runniness problem some people had. Read More

It was too runny and lacked flavour. I would use less liquid and some more spices. Read More

My 1 year old scarfed this down. Quick and easy for week day lunch and way better than a box of macaroni and cheese. Read More

Made this exactly to the recipe except it had to simmer for 15 minutes instead of 10. It was a hit. Grandkids loved it. I may try this with Parmesan or blue cheese next time for an added kick in flavor. Read More

I rated this a 5 because of the adaptability of it along with the ease and one pot prep. Change the vegetables add some rotisserie chicken or ground beef whatever. I also add a teaspoon of Morton's All-Seasons to jazz it up a bit. You are only limited by your imagination. Read More

This was so easy! I loved that I could use frozen veggies though I mixed it up and used a different mixture. Served this for dinner with a rotisserie chicken - one dish to clean and leftovers to boot! Read More

I love this recipe! It is quick and very adaptable. I use coconut oil and omit the salt. I add Perdue shortcuts chicken and broccoli. A great meal for my humans and my dog! Read More

Im a mom of 4 picky kids. Made this for dinner last night and they loved it minus the veggies of course. Nothing can convince them to eat veggies! I used brown rice (a healthier alternative) and i added grilled chicken breast also. love it! But totally forgot to take a pic Read More

I agree with others that you only need 2 cups of stock rather than the three. I doubled the recipe and added 2 chopped jalapeños with the other ingredients and then cooked it. We loved it! Read More
