This recipe is great , the meat sauce outstanding, but we would have preferred white sauce as the cheeses were just to strong, and over powered the meat. Next time we will do white sauce. Thank you very much.

Our wonderful Pastor and his daughter were at home roughing it while our Pastors wife was in the hospital after a major surgery. Each family signed up for a day that we would take a meal to the Pastors home. I chose this meal as my selection. It was without exception loved by all. In fact, I have passed this website on to all of my friends. Thank you for such an outstanding job on this recipe and the many others that people take the time to send in. They are truly apprecitaed all over the world. Trish from North Dakota
