This is so good and so easy! I didn't have ranch mix so I just used a dash of seasoning salt and a bit of pepper. Everyone loved it and even my yougest who says ewwww broccoli had seconds. Thanks for such an easy way to get kids to try something new!

Liked the sauce, but it was too salty for us. I would try it again but without the seasoning salt.

This was yummy! I made a small portion of it to try, plus it was for a single serving. I used reduced fat cheddar cheese, fat free sour cream & butter spread & fiesta ranch fix. I tried to microwave this for 30 seconds but it didn't melt the cheese so well, so next time I'll up it & see how it works. But it was flavorful, and different! I will play with this some more!
