Very good! Easy to put together. Kind of like a quick lasagna, I guess! I added some chopped onion to the ground beef while it was cooking. I also used a 15 oz. can of tomato sauce (not quite the entire can, but most of it, an 8 oz. can didn't seem like quite enough). Also, I'd say this recipe makes 4 hearty servings, as my husband and I ate half of it for dinner! It was tasty and I would make it again. Made for PAC Spring '08.

Very tasty! I put mine in a disposable casserole container so I could achieve the layering. It froze beautifully, and got the thumbs up from both DS when I chose to bake it. I'd love to add sundried tomatoes to this when I make it again, and a bit more tomato sauce. (And, believe me, I will!) Thanks for posting, FCR Gal!
