loved it, didn't have enough sharp cheddar, made do with colby and sprinkled some extra on top. Fabulous, thanks for posting.

I liked this; my husband would not eat it. Said it was too greasy. I would definitely call this rich, but I wouldn't necessarily use the word creamy to describe it. I followed the recipe exactly, using the lower fat versions of items, but although I did like it, I have to agree with my husband that it was swimming in butter.

Oh Mandabear this was heavenly :)<br/>I made this for my fiancee and he absolutely flipped over it.<br/>I added one little touch that I thought was nice, I melted a small amount of butter with a few Tbs of Italian dried bread crumbs and sprinkled them on top before cooking,,,YUMMY

Thank you so much for posting this! I used to babysit for a lady YEARS ago and she would throw this together for her kids. I have thought about this recipe many times and finally made it tonight. Tastes like you slaved over it for hours (ditch the box - yuck).
