This is a good basic recipe to tailor to meet anyone's needs. However, first of all, cook the pasta separately and add it into individual bowls, or you'll just wind up with soggy pasta. Secondly, I can't for one minute believe that this has 286 cal, even without the cheese and sour cream. :-)
I thought this was very good. I changed it a little because we dontcare for spicey food. I used taco seasoning instead of chilli powder. DeleatedtheCheyenne pepper and added a can of fiesta corn.i served tortilla chips with it and it made an easy weeknight supper
I make this with ground venison, use kraft spiral mac and cheese, and change the diced tomatoes to Ro*tel, original. Spices it up real nice. And I like spicey.
It was ok. A little to salty for our tastes.
It was too spicey for our taste. Maybe just half of the salsa and no chili powder would be a good starting place.
The sodium content of this is about 1/2 of a whole day's recommended allowance. Use low or no-sodium diced tomatoes out the 1/2 tsp salt, low fat cheese & sour cream will go a long way to making this a healthier meal.
I make this for a bunch of US Navy Vets that hate Hamburger Helper and love this! All I changed was to heat it up a little more!
Tasty. I used Hamberger Helper Four Cheese Italian.
this was wonderful. My picky eater went back for 2nds & my husband made me write the recipe down so that I'd make it again.
