THOUGHT I had some frozen ground beef, but it turned out to be pulled pork I had done in the crockpot, packed without the sauce. SO -- I proceeded with the recipe as directed. This went together easily and fairly quickly. Since I had put it together earlier in the day, I heated it in the oven at 350 for about 35 minutes. There are just 2 of us, so will likely have 2 more tasty meals. Thanks, Susie-Q.

I have been on the hunt for healthy meals, and this was absolutely wonderful! I just made a few little changes. I only had 1 1/2 pounds of ground round, so I used that. It would probably equal 2 pounds of ground beef, anyways. I also increased the tomato sauce to 2 cups and left out the Parmesan. My whole family LOVED it, including my 6 year old twins and my 10 mo. old! Thanks for the delicious, easy, healthy meal my whole family enjoys! I'll make this over and over again.
