  • “This is a very delicious casserole. I cut the recipe in half and still had plenty for 4. I also sprinkled on a cup of shredded mozarella before the parmesan and baked it until it bubbled. We really enjoyed this! Thanks Amber!”

  • “The title is misleading as it really isn’t a “meat loaf”.Very taste hamburger+mac+cheese casserole.Thanks for sharing this one Amber.”

  • “I’m going to give 4 stars bc my DH loved it, though I thought it sort of plain. I expected the worcestershire flavor to come through a little more. I assembled this in the morning so it was ready to pop in the oven at dinner time.I served it with a loaf of fresh italian bread.”
