This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I always add a few extra chopped carrots and peas, and they gobble it up.

I've tried this recipe a few times, and it's always been a hit with my family. The kids love the cheesy sauce, and I love how easy it is to make.

This recipe was a total disaster! The sauce never thickened, and the pasta was completely undercooked. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

Not a fan. The sauce was too watery, and the pasta was mushy.

This recipe was okay. The sauce was a bit bland for my taste, and the pasta was a little overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of Hamburger Helper, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The sauce was tasty, and the pasta was cooked well. I would definitely make this again if I was in a pinch.
