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
