Great recipe! I've been asked to make it again this year for a Thanksgiving meal side. Creamy, cheesy and it transformed dull squash and root veggies into a dish my kids will eat.

Disappointingly, this recipe didn't quite meet our expectations. It was served with Tourtierre and we actually had people leave this on their plates.

I made this for Thankgiving this yr and it was delicious it was a little runny but I found it thickened up after awile but when I made it I ended up with 12 cups of vegtable insteaddx of 6 so I decided to puree the leftover that did not fit into the caserol dish and added a little more milk and made a very hearty soup with it and it also was a big hit. It is a make again recipe

This reciepe was a huge hit. I made some slight alterations. I added an extra cup of milk to boil the vegetables in, then removed it before I added the cream cheese. I also added a bit of salt and brown sugar and doubled the Ritz crackers. Everyone loved it.

I made this for Thanksgiving the year - I found this recipe way too rich with all the cream cheese, but the rest of the family loved it!

This recipes did not work at all. It was nothing like the picture, way too soupy and was one of our main thanksgiving dishes. I was dissappointed. Turnip stayed hard and every other vegtable went mushy.
