Very easy. The recipe directions aren't clear on when to add the cheese powder mix. So I added it to the water and tomatoes part. I added onion, and some cajun spice. Very tasty!

This is even better when you add extra vegetables to it, & a bit of chili to give it some extra heat.

Very yummy. I use sharp cheddar KD and Aylmer accents spicy red pepper variety for some spicy kick

I look for quick, easy, and nutritious recipes when I come home form work! Thanks heavens for Kraft - many of the recipes are my "go-to's". Made this recipe for the first time tonight! Loved it! My son even gobbled up a full plate of it without complaining and he's not really fond of tomatoes! Will definitely make it again!

It was easy and I liked it but the kids didn't like the tomatoes in it.

I liked this recipe as did my one son and husband but my 9 year old son, not so much. I will definitely add some taco seasoning next time (as others had mentioned) as I think it would give it a little extra flavour. It was super easy to make and to clean up! I'll make it again!

I sauteed an onion when browning the ground beef for a little extra flavour. Yummy!

This was easy to make for a work night. My husband ate 3 helpings so it was a big hit with him. I added onions to the ground beef when browing the meat but other than that made the recipe as written.
