Great recipe. I used fresh steamed broccoli instead of frozen and added canned/drained mushrooms too. Be sure to double the sauce - it was a bit dry - and add lots of seasonings to your taste. Overall, I would make this again. Family loved it.

The kids both a said this was ok but we all felt it was bland and needed some seasonings. (I kind of felt bad packing it for my husband's lunch tomorrow and tried to talk him into ordering out instead of taking lunch.) 4

I doubled the sauce as it seemed to be lacking same. Otherwise, it was good.

Great recipe. Everyone loved it. Looked like a lot, so "halved" it sort of. Used Italian blend cheese instead of provolone, and crock pot shredded chicken. Will certainly make again.

Easy and delicious! I used olive oil instead of butter, skim milk, and omitted the salt. Thanks for sharing!
