This was a nice warm meal on a snowy day. I usually have all of the ingredients on hand so on a rushed day I will come back to this recipe but to my family, this tasted like a better-for-you Hamburger Helper. Which isn't a bad thing, I guess I was just expecting more.

It was okay. Not bad, but also not a hit with my family.

Have made this several times and my husband and I both enjoy this casserole. It's fast, easy and delicious! We don't normally add the crumbled bacon unless we have leftovers from breakfast and don't miss it as the flavor is excellent without. Thank you, Kelli, for sharing your wonderful recipe.
