    • Reviews

  • “Nice flavor and very easy.I used mild cheddar cheese as my kids aren’t sharp cheese fans.Next time I would skip the butter, saute ground beef in a non-stick skillet and drain fat.You only need to cook the noodles a couple of minutes to soften before you add as they cook more in the oven.”

  • “This was very good.I guess you could say it is a “different” type of Lasagne or maybe “Lasagne” with a “Twist”.Very good. (fairly quick and easy too)”

  • “We loved this dish, I used thin egg noodles..a can of tomato soup (instead of the tomato sauce)with some dried Italian herbs thrown in for measure.Delicious, thanks Bergy.=)”

  • “A little different taste than I expected (maybe because of the cottage cheese?), but it is definitely a receipe to keep around! Simple, easy and delicious! Being the cheese-lovers we are, I did add some more sharp chedder in-between the layers of noodes and beef…yummy!”

  • “Perfect comfort food!Very filling and tasty!Would add some more spices next time to spice it up.Thanks Bergy for a perfect weeknight dinner! :)”

  • “Very good! I spiced it up a bit with a little garlic (2 cloves) a some hot sauce.”
