We loved this dish. I changed it up a bit because my oven isn't working. I browned on the top of stove, added other ingredients. I omitted the bread crumbs and finished it off with pats of butter until melted. It was delicious ! Thank you.

My family enjoyed this but I did change it a bit because of what the other reviewers wrote about. I only used 2 cups of elbow macaroni's and didn't add the breadcrumbs and butter to the top of the casserole. I also used Recipe #44460 as I had never bought garlic pepper seasoning. I also used bacon bits instead of the bacon. I also used shredded cheddar instead of cubes. This was something different for us.

I gave this 3 stars. I made this for my family's dinner. My 4 yr newphew & 6 yr niece loved this casserole. I liked it but my future hubby thought it was tasteless. I had 8 slices of maple bacon to use up which I used in place of regular bacon. I used Recipe #44460 as I didn't have any on hand. I used shredded white cheddar for the cubes. Overall I think it was good and with a few changes for my families taste I think this good be really good. Thanks for posting a good recipe. Thanks christine (internetnut)

My husband loved this recipe! I just had a taste of since I am trying to lose weight. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get it low in points. This will be a dish that I fix on my "cheat" days. I didn't use all of the three cups of macaroni, used 2% Velvetta, turkey bacon, and I put shredded cheese on top. Served with french fries. Thanks for a great recipe NurseDi!

This was pretty good. DBF liked it but said that it could use a little something. He wasn't sure exactly what it was, but maybe something to give it a little kick. I thought it was pretty tasty, however, I cut the recipe in half and my casserole wasnt very moist, so I may add a little more of the soup and cheese next time. However, DBF liked it the way it was and didnt think it needed anymore moistness than it already had. We'll be having this again tomorrow though and it will definitely be in the rotation. Thanks for posting!
