This was so easy to put together and a nice change of pace with its mild flavor. I followed the recipe exactly as written except easily halved it (just 2 of us) and mixed the macaroni and soup mixture together before putting in the pan just to make sure all was covered well. Thank you for another good recipe Parsley!

My picky kids liked this and between 4 of us we had enough for dinner and for my lunch tomorrow. We will make it again.

quick and easy and tastes great too!! I'm not a big fan of left overs and I even re-heated it and had it again!

So I didn't have any elbow macaroni, cheddar cheese or tomato soup. But I forged on ahead anyway. And I didn't want to have to add time and bake this. So, I used ditalini pasta, and a couple tablespoons of ketchup and made this on the stove top. I added garlic powder, paprika, lots of black pepper, some Italian seasoning, and some Kent Rollins original seasoning. Topped it with some shredded mozz cheese. OMG! It was DEE-LICIOUS! This is a very versatile recipe. I'll make it again. Sorry it wasn't exactly like the recipe states, but we have to use what we have on hand and get creative, right? NICE and like a comfort food.
