This is good. I made 1/2 a recipe, with butterfly noodles. DH liked how buttery it was and DD's favorite things are noodles and cheese, so of course it was a hit with her! I served it with some steamed green beans and DH had a bbq pork chop with his. This one is a keeper! Thanks! :)

Terrific! I made this up, and altered it a bit by adding cubed ham (just 1 cut up ham steak), and instead of a bread crumb topping I sprinkled it with more cheddar cheese. My family are big cheese fans, lol. I divided it into 3 casserole dishes because my dishes weren't quite big enough to fit just 2 pans. But then, after everyone finished off the pan...they were wanting more (my 2 year old actually cried when he saw that there wasn't any left!). It has the perfect amount of cheesiness (a word my family has made up, lol), and perfect amount of garlic, onion powder, and salt. This will be a favorite! (Oh, and I finally consoled my 2 year old by showing him the 2 casseroles in the freezer) Thanks!
