I should mention that when I made this recipe I substituted diced Italian tomatoes instead of salsa. So good.

I made this recipe for the first time tonight for my family of 6 & we all LOVED it! My kids aren't big on casserole type dishes but raved about this one! Thanks.

Not too excited about this recipe. The kids didn't care for it. Different taste with the cheddar cheese soup and the salsa mixed together. Makes the sauce almost too thick. Probably won't make it again.

This is a really great recipe especially when your tired and you don't want to spend so much time in the kitchen cooking. The only changes I recommend is if your trying to watch the sodium, carbs, and fats you should use a leaner meat-90% lean, and reduced fat cheeses. Try a reduced sodium salsa or make your own, and buy a low carb Bowtie noodle better yet a whole wheat one. This will in return reduce your calories as well. But for a quickie this is a great meal.

This recipe was SO delicious! And it was so easy to make. Me and my family only had 3 people eating it, and we even had leftovers! (But that's because I made to much pasta(:) I hope you try it and enjoy it!
