Pretty good! My family and I really enjoyed it! I stuck directly to your recipe other than changing the noodles. I used Rotini noodles...its all i had to work with, but all in all it turned out great. My oldest son is a very picky eater and he cleaned his plate! The only thing i might try next time is maybe adding a deep dish pizza crust on the bottom and then layer up from that. It was just missing a little something for me, although im sure i wouldve enjoyed it more if i couldve used the onions and mushrooms..my fam is not a fav of that. Anyway, thank you for sharing! I will definitely try it again.

Very tasty! I couldn't find the pasta sauce listed so I used Ragu 6 Cheese. I added an extra can of mushrooms and a can of Rotel tomatoes. In the future, I will cut the meat down to 1 lb. and keep those extras. Thanks for sharing!

When I first found this recipe, I knew we'd like it, but I wasn't really expecting this to be voted a "WOW" meal by the kids. My boys are both well over 6 feet tall, and very healthy eaters - and I have never seen them clean a plate as fast as they did with this casserole! This is the best kind of recipe - cheap, easy and insanely delicious!

Thanks so much for a great recipe! I made this for my hubby tonight--replacing the beef w/ lean ground turkey, used turkey pepperoni & low fat cheese. I used fresh mushrooms & whole wheat pasta, too. It was so tasty, easy & much like lasagna but I didn't feel like doing all that "layering" LOL. Thanks so much for sharing; he said he would love to have this again :-)

This casserole was really good. We loved the parmesan and romano spaghetti sauce. It made it so delicious. We also loved the pepperoni on the top. Will be making this again. Thanks for posting.
