  1. I absolutely LOVE this recipe. It is the ultimate in comfort food for me and the flavors blend so well. I was worried there wouldn't be enough liquid and it would be dry after baking, but it wasn't a problem. I do think I'll use 2 cans of tomatoes next time. Didn't have a bowl big enough, so I just mixed everything right in the pan then popped it in the oven. I needed to add salt, but DH thought it was fine as is. This is a keeper!!
     
  2. Very good recipe; I cut it in half for my husband and me. Decided to use tomato sauce instead of stewed tomatoes- an 8 oz. can worked well for our smaller dish. For more flavor, I added about a half cup of bottled BBQ sauce- turned out delicious!
     
  3. Simple, not too flavorful, but just enough...with an added dolop of sour cream. Rather low in fat which gives it it's edge.
     
  4. This is a very easy recipe and a very good weekday one-meal recipe. We prefer doing this with fresh tomatoes, tomato sauce, and a few tablespoons of ketchup rather than stewed tomatoes. We added zucchini. Your problem with this recipe is how you will produce ``taste´´. As is, this casserole has a light beefy taste with lots of fresh vegetable taste. If you prefer a really beefy casserole, then this is not the recipe for you. But if you want a quick one-meal casserole then this is it. Choose a really sharp tasting cheddar. The taste of ordinary cheddar gets ``lost´´ with the bulk of noodles and vegetables. All in all, our family loved it. I personally liked the fresh-tasting vegetables resulting from this recipe. Thank you Mimi !

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper) I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke) On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
