I have made several times. I have also used with Velveeta Shells and Cheese and add tomoates and red peppers. My family loves this dish.

I made this for dinner last night. It is really quick and easy. I added some grill spice to the meat and some cayenne for some kick. My family really liked it.

Very great recipe! I was looking for something fresh and easy to make. It took very little time to prepare and to cook. The only thing I would recommend is not using so much of the cheese sauce because it was just a tad too cheesy, but other than that...delicious! I've made it twice already this week!

Great recipe! Mac and cheese makes this recipe super easy and delicious. I added salsa after it was all finished, and it kicked up the spice. Great comfort food :)
