I made this recipe for family and friends and people liked it. Luckily I had read the reviews before hand and made sure that I double the sauce. It came out great. Also adding a bit of Parmesan cheese to top it off made it even better.

This sounded really good, but it came out very bland. My kids wouldn't eat it. I think that if I make it again I would add some salt and something else to give it more flavor.

This was good, but didn't have enough sauce. I used the diabetic noodles...to cut down on the carbs. Super easy to make on a busy night. Will make again...but with more sauce! :)

It was very good. One slight change I did was I used frozen mixed vegetables that had broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower.

This dinner is quick and easy. The only thing I will change next time is the sauce....wasn't enough.

I added 1/2 cup Italian dressing to the cream cheese mixture as it was cooking to thin the sauce and give extra flavor. Also added the cup of peas and about 1/4 cup real bacon bits. My husband loved it and left overs are ready for work tomorrow!

It is a little bland. I had to add salt to it.
