I actually made this without the broccoli or chicken to be used as a side dish and it was awesome!

Very hearty and tasty. Super easy to make. I could see where someone would want more spice, but it was really so good the way it was.
0 HelpfulI love this method. Fewer steps and just as tasty as a traditional roux. My picky eater ate a whole bowl. Since some of the reviews mentioned a bit of blandness, I added a bit more mustard, some paprika, and a couple of slices of chopped bacon.
0 HelpfulThis was pretty good and reheated well for lunches, but I wish it had more kick - I used extra sharp cheddar to try to add as much flavor as possible and served with red pepper flakes, but it still seemed like it was missing something.
0 HelpfulSuper super easy. Definitely add cayenne and/or red pepper flakes to your sauce base unless you have spice-averse or kids eating this dish. Cooked up beautifully and easily. Perfect for a busy and chilly weeknight.
0 HelpfulWOW! Definitely heavier than I am used to, but really yummy. I will save this for a winter day.
