This is a simple side to use for Mexican night. We use medium salsa & shredded cheese. Adding cooked, diced chicken and corn makes it a quick meal.

I loved how quick and easy this was but it was a bit bland, it definitely needs some seasoning. I used shredded cheddar instead of velveeta & served it with the super easy enchilada skillet recipe also from Kraft.

This recipe was pretty tasty and couldn't be easier. Next time I'll try it with sharp cheddar.

this dish was just OK, if I make again will either use cheddar cheese or no cheese...

Even with very mild salsa this is still pretty spicy for my kids.

I cannot say I would make this recipe again, i found it to be very blah. It did have flavor but was not as good as what I hoped it to be. My grandaughterr did not care for it and neither did the rest of my family

I liked this as a side dish. I think it is better with shredded cheddar cheese instead of Velveeta.
