    This was very tasty and pretty to look at with the color from the carrots and broccoli. Be careful not to let it boil or the milk will curdle. - 12/9/13

    I used 1% milk and instead of Velveta I used 2 oz cheddar and 2 oz of Monteray Jack. Family finished the complete batch and asked for more. I'll double the recipe next time for lunches. Thanks for sharing! - 4/7/11

    Substituted 2% for skim milk, did not use carrots, and steamed the broccoli first before adding to sauted onions. Was delicious...Definitely a keeper - 2/2/11
