Reviews
This turned out much better than anticipated. I used gluten free noodles and was afraid I’d have a gelatinous mess because the noodles overcook easily. It’s very cheesy which we like! I added just a pinch of seasoning salt to the tops before baking and it was good.
Very easy & quick to make. Delicious!!
So simple and so simply amazing! The cheese and the pepper just elevated this simple dish to a whole new level. My husband is mostly lactose intolerant and he couldn’t get enough of this. I added a last step of broiling the top a bit and that layer of crust was fought for! We will absolutely make this again!
