Nice to see this recipe. When I was married 44 yrs. ago, I made this same recipe and dh loved it. I lost it and never found it till you posted it. Now I can make it for him one day and surprise him. Substituting turkey for the beef and low sodium and low sugar ingredients. His diet has changed quite a bit recently in his old age. lol Thanks for posting it.

This casserole was easy to make and was very filling, but the taste was just okay to me. I'm not sure if i'll make it again and I don't think i'd serve it to guests. I cooked it for the time/temp specified and the tops of the biscuits were brown, but the bottoms were underdone and doughy which was okay with me, but may be a turn-off to others.
