The Verdict

4.5/5. This recipe was super easy and super yummy! Scott and I ate every bite! I used a little bit of mozzarella instead of all cheddar cheese. If you wanted to change up the dish by adding veggies, meat, or different kinds of cheese I can only imagine it would get better! In the reviews on the betty crocker website, people suggested making the pasta and the sauce the night before or in the morning and then baking it. Also putting the whole thing together, letting it cool, and freezing it. I bet both of these would work well too! And even just putting the sauce over the noodles without baking it would be good! Try this-it's awesome!
