I don't like hamburger, so I made it in a rectangle baking pan, and only put the hamburger on my husband's half. We both loved it. Good reheated. -
It was good but I agree that it could use a little more flavor. I added mushrooms to mine and Italian seasoing to the sauce. Next time I will I think I will add spinach and more seasoning. Maybe italian sausage?

Anxious to make it again! I added a little garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning and basil to sauce. Would leave green peppers out next time. Delicious! -
very good and easy casserole... added diced tomatoes to the beef mixture!! thanks for the good recipe!! -
The creamy texture of the cheese mixture was terrific. I used rotini noodles for this and added some garlic, salt & pepper to the tomato sauce for some extra flavor. I still think it could have used a little more flavor.....maybe some fresh chopped basil, more garlic, etc. Over all, we really enjoyed this and I'll make this again (adding more herbs/spices). Thanx for sharing!

I add green red and yellow peppers and sweet onion and cook with ground beef. I also throw a handful of grated sharp cheese in the mixture. I swear it's even better the next day!

I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6
grand and glorious grandchildren.
I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby
My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby.
My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands.
He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
