My boys love this dish so I always make a double batch for leftovers. It is so creamy and flavorful and I sneak in a lot of veggies and they eat it up! It is one of the few dishes I actually use a canned soup. It is one of the first dishes I made when I was just learning and I haven't changed the recipe that much. Enjoy, Thanks Monica
