4 stars, season w/some salt & pepper, but delicious, hearty & oh-so-easy even made my thrifty way w/1-1/2 cups shredded regular sharp cheddar & a few dashes (to taste) liquid smoke instead of smoked cheese, and I just mashed a couple of my own large potatoes that I'd boiled with a couple cloves crushed garlic. I also cooked the carrot in a little bit of veg oil for a couple minutes 1st to soften a little. I don't know how or where, but the version I printed out called for ham OR 1 cup drained/rinsed cannelloni beans & I made the bean version (using the whole can) & it was delicious & hearty.
