    • Reviews

  • “I don’t like hamburger, so I made it in a rectangle baking pan, and only put the hamburger on my husband’s half. We both loved it. Good reheated.”

  • “It was good but I agree that it could use a little more flavor.I added mushrooms to mine and Italian seasoing to the sauce.Next time I will I think I will add spinach and more seasoning. Maybe italian sausage?”

  • “very good and easy casserole… added diced tomatoes to the beef mixture!! thanks for the good recipe!!”

  • “The creamy texture of the cheese mixture was terrific.I used rotini noodles for this and added some garlic, salt & pepper to the tomato sauce for some extra flavor.I still think it could have used a little more flavor…..maybe some fresh chopped basil, more garlic, etc.Over all, we really enjoyed this and I’ll make this again (adding more herbs/spices).Thanx for sharing!”
