User Reviews:

I doubled the recipe, thought it was a little bland. Added some garlic seasoning and it tasted very good. Was very thick, had to thin it out with more milk.

Had the In-laws over and her father is very picky. He loved it. I recommend it over and over. Easy to make and great for times like this.

This recipe is both simple and scrumptious! The only thing I did differently was to add an additional 1/2 Cup cheddar, since I like a really strong cheddar flavor. Very highly recommended!
