This is a great, easy recipe. It was a little bland so I added the following: garlic powder, chili powder and mixed the cheese and bacon in, not as a topping. My family loves it!

It came as a great surprise to me, but this was actually better the next day. My noodles took a lot longer to get soft--about 45 minutes--and I had to add more water twice. It also seemed to taste a little bland, even though the cheese I used was extra-sharp cheddar. But when I took the leftovers out for lunch today, I found that the flavors had blended beautifully, and the noodles now had just the right amount of tenderness and firmness. The purpose of the recipe is probably to make a quick, kid-friendly meal, but if you make some, try saving a bit overnight. That's when this dish really blossoms. Made for ZWT 5 Update: This recipe works very well in an electric skillet.

This was OK, but I think something was missing. Next time I might us a jalopena pepper in place of the green pepper and use salsa instead of cocktail sauce. This has potential with a little playing around. Made for ZWT5 by a member of the Dining Daredevils.

I have two boys Eddie 18 and Brandon 10. I have been with my hubby for 16 years. I work full time outside the home and my boys keep me busy at home. Eddie is a singer and base guitar player in a band and Brandon races go karts. We also have a Collie/Beagle mix named Sugar. I love to cook and try out new recipes. My family likes it too but at times ask my to make just "normal" food, as I forget sometimes to make my own TNT recipes. I cook a lot with with my crock pot as it makes life a lot easier for me. I am always on the look out for new crock pot recipes. I'm not much of a baker as I don't like to measure things. I collect cookbooks and recipes in general. I usually start with a recipe and tweak to my families liking. My Rating System: 5 Stars = The whole family enjoyed the dish and it will be added to my TNT cookbook. Book #220911. These recipes will be made again and again. 4 Stars = Recipe was good, but needed some modifications or it was good but not something we would want on a regular basis. Also goes into my TNT-4 star recipe cookbook. Book #220912 3 Stars = It was edible, but won't be made again. 2 Stars = Needs some kind of major adjustments. 1 Stars = Inedible, didn't work, waste of ingredients.
