This was the hit of our Christmas dinner...creamy, cheesy, delicious and easy to make. Everyone at the table said I should have made more. I did double the recipe and throw in an extra half cup of cheddar cheese for flavor. Can't wait to make it again.

Made this tonight and its delicious. I did add fried onions and up the recipe a little bit but its definitely a do-over. Great easy recipe.
