I really liked it, but we made several adjustments to it. I added ground beef, omitted the creamed corn and added another two cups of cheese. Victoria88, remember these recipes are good stating point and eventually you have to make each dish your own. Don't give up just add more cheese!

This is a great dish for pot lucks. I always increase the pasta, cheese, milk, and salsa. I also use my favorite salsa instead of the recommended due to person preference. It is easy to reheat, and makes great leftovers.
