Long time family favorite here...I hate mushrooms so I know it's great without those. You might also try pepper jack cheese and/or adding pickled jalapeños. It adds a little more of a kick. Also most recipes call for paprika to be sprinkled on the top...which is awesome IMO.

This is for those who enjoy rich dishes. I mixed everything together except for the pasta and it came to 8 cups. There was no way that only 9 ounces of spagetti was going to be enough. I used 1 pound pasta. This is a very rich dish. I didn`t plan anything with this. But a large salad would do you good. This is very easy to make. Just be sure to cut back on the sour cream, cheese, and butter!

Great! Served this as a side at family Easter gathering. I one-and-a-halfed the recipe which would have called for 6 cups of the cheese. I quit adding after 3 cups since I was afraid it would become "Cheese Cabrini!" Turned out wonderful anyway. Big hit with hungry relatives with several requests for the recipe. Thanks!
