    can you bake it
    • Cso51108026 Cso51108026 on Apr 10, 2024

      You TOTALLY can bake this!!! Rather than mix all of the cheese into the pasta mixture, sprinkle some on top, bake at 350-375 for about 15-20 minutes (or, pop it under the broiler for just a few minutes). Yum!!!

    Can you substitute canned corn and peas instead of frozen
    • Cso51108026 Cso51108026 on Apr 10, 2024

      Sure, but drain them well! But, if given the choice between canned and frozen, I always prefer frozen. And you don't need to do peas/corn; if your family hates peas, throw in green beans, corn, and carrots (my family's favorite); I've also used cauliflower/broccoli blend. It's customizable!!
