These were very good and will make them again. I used chopped shrimp and half and half. Next time I'll cut back a little on the bacon in order 2 taste the shrimp more. Love this.

I forgot to mention that I made this without mushrooms and used Italian Blend Cheese instead of Asiago, Parmesan & Romano like another reviewer suggested. It did take some time to prepare but is well worth it!

This is sooo yummy! To reduce the calories & fat I used Smart Balance 50/50 Butter Blend, Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese, Fat Free Cream Cheese, Fat-Free/Low Sodium Chicken Broth, Skim Milk & Turkey Bacon. This turned out great--tasted like something from a restaurant! Both my husband & I say its a "keeper"! I will say that the sauce is very rich and cheesy--reminded me of Alfredo Sauce. Thanks for sharing a great recipe:)

Extremely rich and indulgent! One shell is enough!

I have not made this recipe. I will make this for my friend who loves cheese. But not to reheat for leftovers. To those who think it is too busy - organize your time. It is a simple recipe. Too much for one or two - reduce ingredients. Recipes shared means you can do what you want to with the recipe. Then it becomes your personal recipe. The original is only a guideline to your taste buds.

Sounds good--but way too much work and expensive for person living alone!Would like to try it on a smaller scale

One of my family and friends favorites. Made a few adjustments for personal preference. Cheaper alternative to all the cheeses is to buy a bag of Sargento's Italian blend and substitute it in the place of Asiago and the Romano. Recipe is rich, so it is fabulous by first putting a large spoon full of your favorite tomato sauce on the base of your plate, then serve pasta on top. Our family omits onions and mushroom step altogether. Bacon completely changes taste. I have made it with and without it. Also, our family does not like Ricotta, so used the Philadelphia Italian Cooking Creme in it's place. GREAT!

My family LOVES this recipe. Very tasty and very filling. Two shells per person is absolutely right, it's so rich. I made it with a side salad and rolls and it was perfect. You can half this recipe very easily, which is what I did. Leftovers of this don't reheat well. Since there's so much cheese, it gets oily when reheating. I've shared this recipe with all my friends. TERRIFIC!!!!!

My family loves this dinner! I add fresh garlic to the onion mixture when I make it instead of garlic salt. The first time I made it I followed the recipe with what cheeses to use, since then I've just used 6 italian cheese blend the whole way through it and think it tastes amazing like that.

This was rich, creamy, and amazingly delicious. Would definitely make again and again!

I did not think this was too much work. It seems these days anything that does not come out of a box or a can and make at all from scratch is considered too much work. I made it exactly as listed and thought it was good. I also did not think it was too much cheese..The title says cheese. The recipe has 6 cheeses in it. I kind of expected it to taste like cheese so I am a bit puzzled as to the too cheesy remarks. You could see what went into it so how could you be surprised.

This was a delicious dinner! It was a lot of work prepping it, but it was well worth it. It's a lot of cheese, but that's not a problem! We will definitely be making this again!

Like other reviewers have said this dish is way too rich with nothing to help balance it out. Plus, it was a ton of work.

These taste great. They make a hearty party food option. They are loved as an mingle food and main meal in our home.

I changed a few things from the original recipe. Used 1/2 and 1/2 (never use cream in anything) and skim milk. Used just OO to saute mushrooms and onion- no butter. Other than that, followed recipe. Knew it would be too rich for a main course, so used as an accompaniment to simply saute chicken. On other note: use regular grocery store bacon instead of a premium bacon like Oscar's or Applewood Farms. Premium bacon overpowers the flavors, the milder grocery store bacon compliments. Would be a great accompaniment to ham or pork. Everyone thought it would be WAY to heavy/rich to be main course.

Verry rich. I think I will cut down on how much cheese i use next time.

With all the strong flavors of cheese, I felt a full cup of bacon would be overpowering. I used about 1/4 of the bacon and it was just enough. This recipe was a big hit!!

This was a lot of prep work. I had all fresh ingredients so I had to shred and grate all the cheeses, cook & crumble the bacon, mince the parsley, and chop the veggies before I could even begin the recipe. It took a lot longer than 45 minutes. It was very good, but my husband thought there was too much cheese. I am not sure which cheese to cut back on, but I think I will skip the mozzarella on top, and I will add more of everything except cheese to the filling and see if that works. They had a great flavor and I will make them again. My husband wants me to make pasta with the sauce so I am thinking I will try a seafood pasta with the sauce.

This was quite tasty, a little heavy on the cheese for my taste, but my husband thought it was wonderful. I left out 1/2 cup of cheese in the sauce and didn't put any of the mozzarella on top. I think next time I will leave out some more cheese or add some milk because the sauce is quite thick. It was good and served with green beans, a salad and breadsticks was a delicious dinner.
