My picky husband really liked this! And it was very easy so I was happy too! I didn't have any frozen mac n cheese, so I used a box of mac n cheese mix, prepared it as directed on the box, and halved it for the top and bottom layers. I also used a whole pound of hamburger making it a bit meatier, and used a combination of ranch and regular Doritos (because I only had a little bit of each in my kitchen). It turned out a bit dry, but very tasty. I forgot to add the tomatoes, which may have contributed to its being dry. I'll add them next time I make it - which I definitely will!
