Delish! I made this exactly as directed and we loved it. It was easy to prepare and my grandson has already asked when we can have it again. Thanks Nancy for sharing. Made for For Your Consideration tag..

This is delicious! I used the Healthy Request Cheddar soup and subbed Greek yogurt for the sour cream, which worked fine. Seved with rice and buttered carrots for an easy but "fancy" dinner.

This recipe was good, but the sauce was a little bland. It might have been better served over rice or noodles. Thank you for posting as it was a nice change.
