I thought this was really good. Not really flavorful but good for a quick meal. I used the tomato soup, left out the green pepper and added a squirt or two of barbecue sauce. I also threw in alot of pepper, some season salt and Italian seasoning. I'll be keeping this recipe on hand for nights like tonight when everyone is hungry and I have no time.

    Very good. I included a green bell pepper and used colby rather than cheddar. I also used a sweet BBQ sauce. Very good. Thanks!

    Definitely 5 star for what I was looking for. Something cheap, easy and tasty. I was surprised it was that good, it looked very nice with the shredded cheddar and scallions. Filling to say the least. Good with a bit of sour cream on top also. Thanks.
