I really liked the taste but I found the sauce really runny. I added more shredded cheese to make it thicker.

Sadly the milk and cream cheese curdled, but the flavor was great.

Very yummy! I've made this a few times and have changed the cream cheese flavour to get a different taste to the dish.

Really quite good although this doesn't serve as many as it says it does (about half as much). Sauce was a little too runny, which is something to play with the proportions on, otherwise it is another winner.
