When there's not much in the house and you want something quick and easy - this is it! I added some spinach to get those veggies in!

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and I'm making it again this weekend. It reminds me of my grandmother's recipe. So happy I found this website! Thankful and grateful!!!

Surprisingly good! When I say 'surprisingly', I don't mean it as an insult to anyone - this dish is really just better than it should be, yummier than the sum of its parts.<br/><br/>Changes I made: using Dreamfields rotini, using EXTRA sharp cheese (yum!), a jar of drained mushrooms, omitting the pimientos, and adding two shredded poached chicken breasts. The chicken sort of turned it into a main dish! The cracker crumbs didn't add a ton to it, so if you have to leave them off, don't worry about it!<br/><br/>All in all, a delicious crowd pleaser that is pretty darn flexible given all the changes you can make to better appeal to your family's tastes!

One of my husband's favorites and he hates casseroles! We also add a can of mushrooms but leave off the crackers. My MIL makes it with cream of celery which adds a wonderful twist!
