I really enjoyed this, however I did make a few substitutions. I used ground turkey instead of beef and I added some roasted garlic to it while I browned it with the onion. I also found that it was a little bland so next time I definitely think I might add some salt, pepper, and maybe even some Itilian seasoning to the tomato paste mixture. I also didn't layer mine. Instead I just mixed everything together and then sprinkled some extra cheese on top and baked it. It was a huge hit! Thanks for posting!
