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.

I made this as the recipe called for, and added a splash of milk at the end to make the sauce creamier. If I made this again, I would definitely use more bacon and maybe even shredded chicken, or chicken bouillon. Maybe I'll even try the cooking cremes in the cream cheese section, since the sauce was a little bland, even after I added salt and pepper.

Bland. I added chicken seasoned with salt & pepper. Needs something for flavor!

I used beef broth as that is what I had on hand, frozen vegetables in a cheese sauce, some roasted garlic seasoning and it was very good; not dry at all. Would definitely make again.

My kids LOVED this! I doubled the recipe (we love leftovers especially in the summer) and, of course, I had to do something a little different. I added cubed chicken breasts and fresh parsley from my garden. For the veggies, I added a bag of frozen broccoli and another of mixed veggies. I did add some salt as it did seem a little bland, but it turned out wonderful! Definatly a keeper!!

The flavor was good, but it was dry. I would add a lot more broth.
