Review:Cheesy Noodles and Corn J/F 98

[ElinorC]

I found this recipe when I was browsing through some old magazines for a side dish for a pork tenderloin. It is easy and very tasty and could be used as a veggie main dish if desired. It has Velveeta light in it so it's not for you "cheese snobs" out there. Nothing melts quite like Velveeta however! lol

Elinor, that sounds really good! I'll have to look for that one over the weekend. I'm sure it's on my version of MC.

ElinorC,

Thanks for digging this recipe out of the back issues! I missed it back in 1998 and never would have found it without your recommendation. I love cheese, but do not consider myself a "cheese snob". The Velvetta-Light fit the bill perfectly on this one!

I made it tonight to go with the Chicken Francais. It recieved an 8 out of 10 on the husband scale. A good dish on a cold night!

Thanks for the review!
