This was good -- but very rich. Used 16 oz of noodles as others have suggested (as that is what I had on hand) and 2 cans of cream of mushroom (again, what I had on hand). Think this would be really easy to tweak with stuff someone had in the fridge/pantry and a great use for leftover ham. Could easily use different cream soups, and different cheeses to change up the flavor. Thanks.

It smelled great while cooking. It just didn't match our tastes. Thanks for contributing though!

My DH made this for dinner. It turned out pretty good. As far as i know he he followed the recipe to the letter. There were left overs i had for lunch they re heated well. He also used a 16 oz bag of noodles (spiral). Will make again.

This was VERY good, rich and creamy. I only made a couple of changes to this, I only had 16 ounces of noodles so that is what I added and I thought it was just the right amount of sauce. In fact I thought there may not have been enough sauce for our tastes if I added the full 24 ounces of noodles. I added some dijon mustard to the soup mixture for some "tang" and some chopped garlic to the onions and ham...just because we love garlic! This did make a HUGE pot and we will have good leftovers. Thank you again, this turned out fabulous and I will be making it again for sure!
