Easy to make and great flavor. I just think it was a bit dry. I used the breadcrumb/butter topping with some more cheese sprinkled on top. I enjoyed that topping. I will make this again, but I'm going to add some milk to moisten it up a little more. Thanx for sharing your recipe!

This is very good and oh so easy to make. It was great on a night when I didn't really feel like cooking but it would be good any night! My family enjoyed it with some crusty garlic bread. Made for Zaar Stars. Thanks for sharing.

Mmm-Mmm Good! I halved the recipe easily and now I'll be using this in my OAMC. Great comfort food that made me feel like a kid again. Mom often added pasta to Campbell's tomato for a quick lunch for us kids. Made for Please Review My Recipe. Thanks Reds, it's like the Fountain of Youth!
