This is a wonderful recipe! My 3 year old picky eater LOVED it! I made it with fat free half and half and added two diced chicken breasts. I make a double batch every time so I have always have some on hand ready to heat up.

I made this last night and given the price you pay for the amount of food (and leftovers) it yields, it's very worth making. I did think it lacked a little something. Maybe more pepper, or possibly garlic? It seemed a little bland, but an overall easy and cheap meal to prepare. :-)
