"Thanks for the recipe. Our family enjoyed it, and it's good to know it's healthy and economical."
"I didn't have peppers, so I had to leave them out. I added some chopped onion. I didn't use the reduced-fat cheese. Instead I used part cheddar cheese and part Pepper Jack cheese. I also added some green chilies. This was quick and very good. It's one of those versatile recipes that will take substitutions well. I will make this again."
"Very easy to make. Good comfort food."
"I make this a lot. My family loves it. I add onions with the peppers, season with Lawry's Seasoned Salt, cayenne pepper (to taste) and a few drops of liquid smoke. I serve with sour cream, sharp cheddar, shredded lettuce and tortilla chips. Great reheated. I have frozen it and reheated it with no problems as well."
"easy to make! We loved it. We call this shoveling food.
We will definitely make again!!""This was okay. I will make again but add olives and nacho cheese sauce and green onions."
"easy to make and very tasty!"
