Love this recipe! Not only does my family request this often, but am asked to make this dish when we take food to people who are recupperating from accidents or dealing with death in the family....any time there is an occasion for comfort food...this is the one! Thank you SweetsLady for posting! you make us look GOOD! I have substituted black olives for pimientos at times, have used the fresh mushrooms, and have even replaced one of the soups with rotel....to suit tastes...whatever, it's a hit! Thanks

My husband LOVED this recipe, he is a huge mac and cheese fan and this fit the bill for him. I LIKED it, ONLY because it's the first time I ever had velveeta and it was just toooo much for me. I didn't add pimentos because they are expensive as can be where I live, and I used fresh mushrooms. Next time I will probably use just grated cheddar in place of the velveeta. Thanks for posting. :)

I just finished making this, and I had to stop tasting it.....because there wouldn't be any left for the family. I followed this exactly, and the taste was so comforting I just wanted to curl up next to the woodstove and take a nice long nap. I added the mushrooms and didn't scinch on the Velveeta. If you are going to enjoy this meal~then follow this exactly. The only little change I made was boil the noodles first, drain, in in the same pot cook the vegetables and add the soup and let it all heat up. Terrific as they come, this is a winner! Made for *Spring Spectacular* April 2008

Very good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't add the pimientos as I didn't have any. They whole family enjoyed this.

This is a regular on my monthly dinner menu, since it uses everyday ingredients I normally have on hand and prep is easy! I use Recipe #278160 in place of the canned (and sometimes I use the cream of celery variation). I have also added in a can of drained dice tomatoes with yummy results. I might try a can of Rotel tomatoes next time. I use several big handfuls of sharp cheddar instead of Velveeta, and if things seem to be too thick, I thin it out with some of the broth/pasta water. Delicious! :)
