This was quick and easy to make, but a little heavy on the cream cheese. I found the flavor overpowering so I did not enjoy this meal at all. But the kids ate it, so I guess that means it wasn't too bad LOL I will not be making this again because I have another similar recipe that I like better, but if I did I would sub half of the cream cheese for something else
