pretty good - need to read the recipe more closely - thought the sauce was too thick (i forgot the milk), so i added 1/2 cup herb & garlic cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, and 1/2 cup extra cheez whiz. so yummy!

I didn't have green onions or the peas so I used one regular onion and a frozen vegetable mix, added twice as much cheez whiz and it was delicious!!!

I substituted leftover pork chops (cut into cubes) and it was very good.

Changed 1/2 Cheez Whiz(did not have) for 2 cans Mushroom Soup, also added 2 cloves of garlic to ground beef as well as added 1 1/2 cup mixed frozen vegetables. My family loved it!!

This was quick and tasty - I added hot sauce for zing. I also used less cheese whiz - was still creamy but not too cheese-whizzy. :)
