5 plus! So easy to prepare, and delicious results. Skipped the carrot, but thought onion would be a nice addition next time. Also I used 1/2 pkg cream cheese, but a 1/4 would have done the trick. Just yesterday I made a pasta bake that took me over an hour to prepare. This kicked it out of the water. Thanks for posting.

this is a fantastically easy and very tasty recipe. i used olive oil and soy milk instead of butter and milk and got great results!
