The kids inhaled this. They loved it and asked for more. We did not make the cheese sauce though. Randy was bummed. My only (minor) issue would be that it was very saucy. There was just a lot of sauce leftover in the pan, not sure if this is how it's suppose to be or not. It was still very tasty and I definately will be making this in the future.
ReplyDeleteKT-I do put more sauce in this than it calls for. It calls for 3-4 cups which is about 1 2/3 jars. I always hated having just a little bit left over so I just threw it in. I also worried that if the noodles weren't covered good that they would get crunchy and my family hates that. So I decided for my family that I would err on the too saucy side rather on "the noodles are crunchy" side. Glad your family liked it. We are having your soup tonight.
ReplyDeleteKT- Try the cheese sauce for Randy next time. It is yummy!
