I made this recipe for a party. I didn't add the ground beef because there were vegetarians at the party. I made 2 trays and they were gone before I could even taste it! I am told it was awesome. It was simple to make and I plan on using the recipe again.

My family is tired of the same old menus - eating in or out. So I found 'zaar. This was the first dish I made. It was wonderful. My husband and I loved it! Definitely will make again.

This was very good. I made a few substitutions..was out of sour cream so used mayonaise instead, sounds gross but it worked, and no egg noodles so I just broke up some lasagna noodles instead. It is very rich and filling, and great for when you want something different and don't want to make a huge pan of lasagna. Also instead of putting the cream cheese mixture in the middle and on top I just put it all in the middle.

This was really tasty! I didn't have garlic salt so I used garlic powder instead, and I used light cream cheese. Will definitely make this one again. Thanks!
