Flavor a little blah. Needs more seasoning.

The first time I made this recipe I thought it was a little bland, so the next time I made it I substituted Italian sausage for the hamburger and parmesan cheese for the mozzarella cheese. It was really good and very flavorfull!

Pretty good recipe overall. I added minced garlic to the meat and extra cheese. The family liked it and requested I make it again

OMG, My husband loved this casserole, he said this beat my goulash. I seem to agree. I did not change the original. This was great.

This recipe was easy to make. I liked the fact that it is only one pot cooking. But, it was a little bland. I will look to add something to it next time

This was super easy to make and very tastey. Everyone in my family loved it and we fought over the left overs the next day.
