The family really enjoyed this meal. It was a great base for the changes I made. Instead of using mushrooms because the kids don't like them, I added a can of reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup to maintain the mushroom flavor. I added a can of whole-kernal corn with liquid because that's what I had on hand; I added colby jack cheese, I used a can of diced tomatoes with mild green chilis, I added a half teaspoon of ground red pepper and used medium shell macaroni. Your recipe was a great base for a terrific meal. Thank you!

I thought this was a name my grandma made up to be goofy. She & Pa must not have had much money back in the day because her version didn't include corn, mushrooms, or cheese. Grandma's version is a great comfort food & I'll bet your version will be to. I can't wait to try it.
