This was fantastic! Made it for dinner tonight and it was just ~gobbled~ up. I made one difference though, instead of putting the noodles on the bottom, I put them ontop :) like a cottage pie! except the noodles instead of mashed potato! hehe. It was wonderful :) Thank you for the fantastic recipe.
