This was so easy and first time out served to my BFFs for a lunch and what a hit. My husband wouldn't stop eating for two days!! This is a winner!

Very bland at first, but I added double the seasonings as suggested by another review. I also added garlic salt, black pepper, and chopped yellow onion. It was delicious after that!

This is a good basic recipe but WAAAAAY too bland as-is. I added about double of all the seasonings plus a bunch of other stuff like minced onion, garlic salt etc. and also added a cup of shredded cheddar as well. I think if I hadn't done that it would have been pretty much a bland white sauce with chunks of potato. But I will definitely make again just adding the extra seasonings. We do tend to like stuff more spicy than some so maybe it's fine as it is for those with more bland palates!
