Five stars for a "COMFY" treat! When Asked what's for dinner I often reply with a blank look and the word 'casserole'. All encompassing and all comforting! You're my kind of cook!!

I have not tried the recipe but just wanted to congratulate on the phrase 'c.o.m.f.y'. I never throw food away and always manage to make something. I have been racking my brains for a term to use instead of 'leftovers' and I think 'comfy recipes' might just fit the bill !!! I am sure this is great

This is REALLY good - I used a HUGE hodge podge of stuff from my fridge with different amounts of everything - but the ingredients were green peas, broccoli, Brussels sprouts (I cut them up for this recipe) carrots, a little bit of leftover cauliflower & cheese - and I tossed in two cans of drained tuna followed your recipe the rest of the way from the mac & cheese on down and it was absolutely DELICIOUS - served it with a tomato cucumber onion salad and fresh buttermilk biscuits & warm honey - EVERYONE wanted seconds and not one single bite was left - to me that's a sign of an AWESOME COMFY!!! Thanks SO MUCH for posting this!!!!

I used fresh cut green beans instead of broccoli. This was good and consumed without a problem by both my kids. Thank you for the recipe.
