Good stuff for when you want something a little different than the usual mac and cheese and on the cheap.

Have made this dish time and time again, with satisfying results. My grandson loves hot dogs (beef franks) so just may have to make for him.

This ws very good and very easy. I used fiesta nacho cheese instead of the cheddar cheese soup. I then eliminated the onions and peppers.
