How could I not give five stars to this hearty and inexpensive meal? I used grated cheddar cheese, instead of processed cheese, but otherwise made no substitutions and it was wonderful. My favourite part was the nice crusty topping that the parmesan forms when you bake this in the oven. Thanks for sharing! -
This is great! Tasty and easy to make. I didn't have Rotel, so I used 14 oz of diced tomatoes and added some chopped onion and chopped green chilies. Thanx for a wonderful quick meal! I'll make this again. -
will make again 'cause the kids liked it a lot - nxt time I will use the processed cheddar - I used shredded and I think that's what made it not quite as creamy. I might also add diced chilis for a little zing. -
This was pretty good - fattening, of course. ;) It wasn't as creamy as I would have liked. It was kinda gooey and clumpy, but still tasted great!
