I added fresh chopped basil and 1/4 cup of sugar. I have five kids so it's hard to find recipes they all like. They all loved this!!!!!

Thank you for a great recipe! My whole family loved this! I used sweet Italian sausage and dried minced onion. I did not bake this though. I was running a little behind on dinner and just threw this all together on the stove. It came out perfect! I will be making this again real soon!

this was good.. i found that there were not enough noodles in 8 oz to cover the whole pan so i used a 11x7 pan instead. Next time i will do a 13x9 and just use a whole box of pasta. I also doubled the ground beef to 1 LB since i like it meaty. And as suggested I used about 6 oz of cheese.
