I wanted to like this recipe based on reviews. I decided to add the noodles raw. While I did add seasonings --what I found was that it was okay, but since we put the noodles in uncooked it just turned everyting very glutenis. My husband and I are taking leftovers to work tomorrow under duress to get rid of it. Next time i will make burritos or something else out of the beef! I will not make again. Sorry,

My Husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I used shredded chicken and broccoli and cheese soup. I love the fact that you don't have to cook the noodles first. But you need to stir half way through cooking time to cook them all evenly. Thank you for the recipe !

*Made for PAC Fall 2007* This is a great way to use up leftover meat and/ or veg. I used beef stock vs chick stock since I was using ground beef and I did par-cook the noodles first based on previous reviews- I do recommend it. I used frozen green beans which I did not thaw prior to adding to the casserole, they cooked through nicely. This is a versatile week night meal which I am always on the look out for. Thanks for sharing, Nick's Mom

Just tried it and - Wonderful!! I was a little leary of not cooking the noodles first, so I did, then mixed everything together (chix, broccoli, 1/2 onion, chopped and used cheddar, not mozzarella). It's what I had on hand. I also added a couple of shakes of garlic powder and about 4 shakes of poultry seasoning. It was just a little too liquidy so I will not cook the noodles first next time, tasted GREAT and we decided that this is a definate keeper!!! Thanks for the quick, yummy meal.

I think maybe even cooking the noodles first is a good idea (or at least mixing them with the stock & soup alone first)...the noodles did not cook evenly.
