This was terrible. The cheese sauce was watery and the chili flavor was overpowering. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This was okay. The cheese sauce was a bit bland and the chili flavor was not very strong. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I will definitely be making it again, but I will use a milder chili next time.

This was so easy to make and it turned out great! I used a mild chili and it was still plenty spicy. I will definitely be making this again.
