I made this with dried spices, but otherwise followed the recipe (minus the lg amt of pepper). The kids loved it as the plainer the noodle the better. I found it very bland. Even parmesan didn't add much flair. I would try some garlic salt next time instead of clove.

This is a hit with our freezer cooking group. My kids didn't care for the spinach, so I am leaving it out of mine, but my friend wants it to sneak in some veggies into her kids diets. I am currently making 6 of these. They freeze great and reheat easily for a fast dinner. Will be serving spaghetti sauce or marinara on the side for dipping. This is a fast and fancy meal for company dropping in for dinner.

I just made the meat without the veggies and it was delicious. My kids didn't like the flavor but the rest of us ate it up. Very rich meat. I served it with broccoli/ramen noodle cole slaw and it was a great combo! I love how tender it got in the crock pot over about 10 hours on low!!
