I may be a salt addict because that is what it really needed! I also slow-cooked it. My taste problem could have come from the sauce but unsure. Thanks for the recipe though and next time I make it, I may try to revamp it a little!!

I love this casserole! I only made a couple of changes....I used ground turkey rather than beef and I cooked it all afternoon in my slow cooker. I did need to add more water a couple of times, perhaps because of my longer cooking time. Serve it with some low fat sour cream and you've got dinner for a few days!
