Made this recipe as written, & although the result was a very nice tasting mac dish, I'd like to try this another time making the mac-&-cheese part from scratch! I shared half of the 'pie' with a neighbor couple who are always up for this kind of dish & promised that next time I'd even let them have the whole pie! A very nicely jazzed up comfort food! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]

A great weekday meal. It is very tasty and ready in no time. I added some cubed onions to the meat as I had half a small onion that needed using and I broiled the cheese before taking the pie out of the oven. Everyone loved it and requested that I make it again. Thank you for posting.
