This is a great base to use up whatever leftovers you may have in the fridge and cupboard. I've done it a couple times with various ingredients and it's always come out good. Tonights dinner consists of smoky links, ham lunchmeat, red potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower along with the cheese, soup and milk (omitted noodles). I use whatever cheese we have in the fridge also. A great way to use up those scraps that accumulate! Thanks so much for sharing this idea.

Made this without my usual habit of first reading the reviews. Wrong move! I thought it highly odd that the noodles weren't cooked, but the recipe had such a high rating, that I thought it must work. I was still uneasy, so I added WAY more liquid to the recipe, though. Instead of just one cup of milk, I added 3-1/2 cups of milk. All milk was soaked up by the noodles & the noodles were cooked, but still not as tender as I like them. I also had to add an extra 15 minutes to the cook time. When it was finished, it was edible which is why it got two stars instead of one, but nothing I'd cook again. It was extremely dry (even with all the extra liquid added).

Don't know how this recipe would taste as written, but with my changes I'd say it's 5 stars. First of all I used left over pork roast. Don't know how my changes would work with ham, but chicken I'm sure would be just as good. I saute'ed some onion, green pepper, mushroom and garlic. I cut the milk in half and substitued sour cream for the other half. DEFINITELY cook the noodles in water until tender. I didn't use canned vegetables, but had some frozen peas and beans. I put some of these in with the noodles as they were cooking (for about 5 minutes). I used cream of mushroom soup instead of the chicken. And lastly I didn't put cheese into the noodles, but used some cheddar cheese as a topping. I cooked the casserole covered with foil (do not grease pan) for about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and topped with some cheese. Turn the oven onto broil and let the cheese brown. I also used a little steak/chop seasoning to the mix. You'll love it.

Followed recipe exactly other than I ommited the veggies (my son won't eat them) and added a dash of worstershire sauce & a sprinkle of garlic powder. Very tasty. Will make again.

Dry and blan, needed to dilute the soup or to cook the macaroni first. A little heat from cayenne or chili powder maybe.

I used other people's advice and I cooked my noodles first. I also used two cups of milk and added pepper and Mrs. Dash for flavor. It turned out great!

I did like others suggested cook noodles first (I used shells). while the noodles were cooking I sauted 1/2 of a onion & about 3 mushrooms diced in butter with some chopped garlic and worchestershire. Then added my soup (cream of chicken w/herbs) & milk with a couple/few drops of hot sauce. poured over my drained noodles, veggie's and chicken, mixed in most of the cheese. Topped for the last few minutes of cooking with remaining cheese and bread crumbs. I will keep this as it was easy to add what you like and change it up a bit.

I used shredded pork leftover meat, wheel pasta (cooked), frozen green beans, cream of chicken soup (I seasoned the milk with worchestshire sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic & onion powder and basil), cheddar and jack cheese shredded, and topped it with bread crumbs and remaining cheese. Its baking now, I'll let you know how it turns out...I'm guessing pretty good!
