This was what I expected it to be. A simple, tasty lunch that helped provide a serving of vegetables. Very easy, would make again.

I made this for my kids and they liked it with the veggies. I used sweetcorn instead of peas, as not all my kids like them.

Simple & easy to make. I thawed then added two cups of mixed veggies. In a separate skillet, I heated through some frozen meatballs ( I used Italian style), although I could have just microwaved them. Once meatballs were heated through, I added them to the pot of mac & veggies. My 2 year old loved it!

Our family doesn't eat peas, so we left them out. It's still a great way to incorporate vegetables in our diet when looking for an easy meal.

There are an awful lot of grams of sodium (salt).

My family loves this recipe. I too add mixed veggies along with diced tomatoes and lean ground beef or chicken for extra protien. This recipe freezes well too, therefore make plenty to have fast favorites!

Great way to add veggies to family's diet. Sometimes, I just add a half or so bag of frozen mixed vegetables. That adds green beans and corn to the peas and carrots combo.

My 4 year old son loves vegetables and macaroni & cheese. This recipe is a perfect way to put them together, and he thought it was the greatest thing in the world.

Add ham or sausages or minced meat makes it even better.
