Yuck! Even my 12 year old son wouldn't eat this and he eats almost anything! Ended up throwing the whole panful away. The cheese sauce and BBQ sauce do not go together well. Just sent my copy of the recipe through the shredder!

The Progresso Starter did not smell good at all when I opened it, and it did not taste any better with the pasta. I am usually pretty open when it comes to food and like almost anything, but this was gross I am sorry to say. :(

This was so bad tasting. No one in my family liked it. Waste of money. I did like the BBQ taste, but the Progresso Recipe Starters creamy three cheese totally killed it. It has a chalky nasty taste to it and it smelled so bad.

I just finished making this and I thought it was pretty good. I changed it a little and omitted the onions (I hate them) and added a can of Rotel Tomatoes and Green Chiles (drain the liquid first) to the meat.

Made this and didn't like it at all. BBQ sauce should never be paired with pasta. Too sweet and too much sodium.
