We make this pretty often. Not quite once a month, but that is more because there are so many recipes to try.... Anyway, our family of four really loves it, the leftovers get taken to work with my husband and he is disappointed if I don't make extra to ensure there will be leftovers. It is creamy, and not very spicy. For the adults who like spicy you may want to add a chili or portion of one to taste. Our kids currently are not big on heat.
