**The measurements of the ingredients is really an estimation. This is one of those recipes that you add/subtract according to what your family likes. Sometimes I've increased the amount of meat & soup, sometimes no cheese, part of a frozen bag of corn instead of canned, etc. You could also sub a different veggie if your kids like peas better. My boys ask for this by name!!**
