My family just loved it! Subbed beef gravy with a can of mushroom.

I used canned roast beef brisket in place of the hamburger. This makes the recipe healthier and even quicker to prepare.

Easy, fast, and flavorful. My kind of meal. Nothing fancy, but still very good.

Subbed ground turkey so the meat just needs a little more seasoning. Everyone loved it.

This was wonderful! The cheese added to the potatoes was the winning touch! And it truly was easy. It took me about 10 minutes to prepare, and 20 minutes to cook.

I have made this recipe nurmerous times and it is a hit everytime. I always double it and freeze the 2nd batch so I have something for those days when I don't have time to cook.
