Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

In order to make it a little healthier I made my own Alfredo sauce, the sauce in the jars is so awful for you. It was amazing. I will make it again and again.

I love getting recipes like this - they are easy, the kids will eat them and they taste great!I also added extra taco seasoning and left the additional milk out because I didn't think it needed it.

My family enjoyed this. My sons went back for seconds. I doubled the taco seasoning as we like things spicy. I will make this again.

First recipe in a long time that made the entire family happy - even picky teenagers. We make this by demand atleast once a month. The only change I make is, I add cheese on top as well and bake last 5 minutes or so without foil to seal the top of the dish. We also do not split the recipe. This is enough for a huge Pyrex dish and it is gone by the next day. Very tasty!

Unfortunately I couldn't put salsa and onion in it cuz then my boys wouldn't eat it so I just use onion powder and extra taco seasoning, maybe half of a package. Everyone loves it. You know its good when the hubby tells you 3 times throughout the night. Making it again tonight but I only have half a jar of alfredo so I'll add a bit of homemade. YUM!

Everyone LOVED this recipe. I had 2 families and ours over last night and served all of it. I tweaked it a little. I put in a whole green pepper. A half of a red onion. Added a can of diced green chilies. I used leftover roasted chicken and a whole packet of taco seasoning.Will definitely make this again!
