I followed this recipe to a "T"...and it was just sort of plain tasting. I was hoping for more from the addition of the half-and-half and gravy. I made it with "healthy" penne pasta...and we were not as pleased as I had hoped. I will not be making it again. Thank you for posting the recipe though!Reply

A very good casserole. I increased the sauce ingredients by at least double because we like things saucy. Even then, it was still quite dry; the sauce amounts listed in the recipe would have made this way too dry for us. The flavours were quite good; I really liked the addition of the gravy and the cream. Delicious as leftovers too!Reply
