Review from boxerfan: As I was making it, it kept reminding me of something, and I couldn't figure it out. Then it dawned on me: It looked liked hamburger helper. Thankfully it tasted better than it looked.
It's definitely comfort food, so if that's what you're in the mood for it's a good choice. My H said that he couldn't believe it was a WW recipe, which translates to him really liking it.
The only thing I changed in this recipe is that I used regular macaroni instead of whole wheat.
