Oh my goodness, F - 16 momma! THIS WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!! I used ground turkey instead of beef and added in some minced onions when browning the meat and followed the rest exactly. This was VERY rich, creamy, and FILLING! Next time I might experiment with whole wheat pasta and light cream cheese....or maybe not - this was awesome as is! :) Thank you for the wonderful recipe!!

I am a Colorado ski bum at heart, but am currently stuck in Miami, FL of all places working on my Doctoral degree in physical therapy at UM. I can't wait until I graduate and can get back to the mountains! 2 more years, 2 more years...I love to cook and find it a great way to relax and slow down after classes and I can't wait until I have more free time to be able to do it. I have been in the Air National Guard with Colorado and Florida for the last four years and have been fortunate enough to taste many different foods and stretch my palate. I have lots of recipes waiting to be posted and when I finally get the time I will, so stand by!
