this is an amazingly simple and delicious recipe. i also add a can of tomatoes and use mexican cheese, and add in whatever other veggie I have available, spinach, corn, etc, and it always comes out perfectly. i have taken it to pot luck dinners where usually the pasta is the last to go, but this is one of the first dishes gone!

I make notes in all my cookbooks of the dates that I make recipes. I first made this one in March 1994 when my boys were still small. I wound up taking it several times to Cub Scout cover-dish meetings. The kids adored it.

Over the years, as the boys' tastes changed and they wanted spicier food, I began adding more spices to zing things up, but the basic recipe is still the same. Recently I attended a Scout meeting with my nephew (ah! the memories) and I made the original recipe to take along. Kids still love it!
