Creamy Bacon Vegetable Pasta Skillet recipe

I added 5 oz. cubed Velveeta to make it cheesier. If using carrots, add them with the pasta so they cook through.

This was very good and simple to make. My husband who does not like cream-cheese asked for seconds and has requested that I make it again.

i thought there was little to no taste. added diced tomatos w/juice for some flavor, otherwise tasted like pasta w/cream cheese on top! will not make again.

Very Tasty! I made this last minute in a pinch and used shitake mushrooms and roma tomatoes from the garden. It was great and I look forward to making it again with a lot more vegatables.

This was really good. I sauteed some chopped garlic with the onions and used penne pasta instead of the macaroni. Will make this again.

I thought this was good, it did seem a little bland like all the others said, i used cooked chicken and the broccoli, cali, carrot blend with bowtie noodles, and only did half the cream cheese block 1/3 less fat one. I did about two slices of bacon a person as a garnish instead of mixing it all in, my hubby liked it!

I omitted the onion, and our family loved it. Made the repeat list!

Thought this came out very good. Made some changes, though. Put a teaspoon of minced garlic and used the whole 8oz. package of cream cheese. Also cooked the veggies in a separate pan so they were cooked thoroughly. Then mixed it all together on low heat. Would also add a bit more bacon next time!!

This was very easy to make and went together very well. I used brocolli, mushrooms and peas for the veggies. I also added chicken. This recipe has definitely made it to the repeat list.
