Great, fast and very tasty. My DH and kids loved it. I did use real bacon bits instead of the turkey bacon because that was what I had on hand. Also, I used 1 can of evaporated skim milk instead of the 2%. We will have this over and over again.

This dish doesn't have an outstanding flavor. However it is REALLY easy to make and tastes good for the number of calories it contains. I will be making again. Thanks!
