This was creamy, cheesy perfection! I used a little more cheese than called for, with a layer on top. Also put in a couple green onions chopped finely. Definitely no left-overs, there was a fight for the last noodle. Thanks for the recipe!

This was good. The kids liked it, but I think they would have liked it better without the sour cream or if I used American cheese instead. Otherwise, I really liked the texture, more dry than wet. Thanks for sharing!

This is so GOOD.I ate until I could not eat anymore.I did cut the recipe in half {only 2 of us} But still used the 2 cups of cheddar, had a piece of parmesan, so through that in with a bit of cream.Cooked about 30 min.I would recommend this to everyone. Thanks;Emmylynn and to your mom.
