This was really good. It was like a cross between spaghetti and Mexican casserole. I'm tired of spaghetti with meat sauce so this was a nice change of flavor. I changed it some. First I cut the recipe in half and so that I didn't dirty up so many pots and pans, I first cooked the meat with the onion and green pepper in a large pot until meat was browned and dumped it into a colander to drain. Then I filled up the same pot with water and boiled the pasta until al dente. Followed the recipe by putting the pasta in a 9 in. x 13 in. baking dish. I sprinkled the pasta with seasoning salt, chopped garlic, and Parmesan cheese then followed the recipe except I only had one can of tomato soup so I added some pizza sauce that I had frozen. Everyone really enjoyed it except my very picky 15 year old DS. He wouldn't even try it. Thanks for the recipe! This was a good way to get rid of some things in the pantry. I will be making this again.

This what a hit at a family party we went to. I used 1 bag of baby spinach and 1 bag of a lettuce/baby spinach mix and used the feta cheese (put it on last) that came with the salad mix. I only had 3/4 cup of mayo so I added a 1/4 cup of sour cream. I used 1/2 Tbsp. of white vinegar and 1/2 Tbsp. of raspberry vinegar. Everything else was the same except I didn't use a full Tbsp. of poppy seeds (just personal preference). Our niece and BIL said that it tasted just like a salad they had in Hawaii. Everyone said it was great and we took home NO leftovers. Important: So that it wasn't soggy, I took everything to the party separate and put the salad together right before serving. Also, didn't use all the dressing. I think if I had it would have been too much. FYI - April 11, 2009 - This salad was requested for me to bring to the family Easter Dinner tomorrow! Thank you for the recipe!

My husband and I loved this. The kids didn't try it but that was expected. I have my favorite sweet potato casserole dish that I have at Thanksgiving and Christmas that is really sweet but have wanted one to have with an everyday meal. We had one yam and I rubbed the outside with oil and butter and then sprinkled kosher salt on the outside and cooked it in the oven per instructions. The skin DID fall apart but I didn't care since it was just us and I mixed (and I didn't measure anthing)everything else together and just spooned it on top of the broken skin and put it in the oven for 5-10 minutes and it was really good with our grilled chicken breast and steak. It was just slightly sweet so it didn't overpower the rest of the dinner. Loved the cream cheese in it and made it creamy and rich but didn't taste it. Thank you!! I'll be making this often!!
