I used mushrooms instead of Gr. peppers and had to add more sauce for my hearty boys and their appetites, but this was a solid hit. Next time I will use Italian Sausage. And so easy!

This recipe is in regular rotation ... a family favorite. I double the meat and add extra pasta.

Very easy, feel free to substitute the cooking cream with real cream cheese. I added fresh basil to the top for extra flavor. Also try ground sausage for pizazz.

This recipe was quick, easy, and tasty! Instead of the ground beef, I used ground chicken breast, and it tasted fantastic!

I omitted the vegetables and ground beef. Loved this recipe after the modifications.

This is so yummy and so easy to make. The Philadelphia cooking creme makes it so creamy and good. I doubled the ground beef by accident (didn't have my glasses on when I first read the recipe!) and I'll double it again next time because it was so good just the way it was.

This recipe was PERFECT! The entire family ate it and it heated up well the next day for lunch. This will become a frequent at our house.

I LOVE this recipe and make it all the time. I love cooking creme! Best new product in a long time. For this recipe I use 1 lb of italian sausage from my local Hy-vee. Makes it a little spicy. I also italian blend cheese instead of just mozz and use 2 cups instead of one. Also, I usually leave out the onions and green peppers b/c my family isn't a fan, but I do like it that way too. Enjoy!
