I made the recipe exactly as is, and it turned out just great. It makes a TON! I froze the leftovers. It doesn't get much better than this for a cheap and easy weeknight meal.

My husband really liked this. I cooked the noodles and sauce seperate then added together. I also added some cumin, chili powder, salt, and hot sauce. It was good but it did seem alot like homemade hambu.rger helper

This is a hit with the family... will keep us warm this winter. I sub vegetarian meat crumbles, wheat noodles, and low-fat cheese. I think you could use any number of pastas - rigatoni, bowties, etc... Great with cornbread!

This was a really great and easy meal! After looking at all of the reviews, I made the following changes: 1/2 medium onion (chopped and sauted with meat), 3 cloves garlic, 1 TBS each of ground red pepper, cayenne pepper and cumin, 1 (16 oz) jar of medium picante sauce, and 1 (8 oz) can of tomato sauce. Also, I COOKED the noodles before adding to the meat mixture and then I let it cook for about 10 minutes all together. With these changes it was a 5! Thanks for the recipe!

I this really tasty and easy to make. I had exactly 2 cups of dry egg noodles that I couldn't figure out what to do with. I found this recipe, but I had to buy everything else (pretty inexpensive) :) I added an extra cup of water because it seemed like there wasn't enough and it cooked down fine. I had to use a stockpot for this as I don't have a skillet big enough to hold all the ingredients - worked out great! Also, 1/4 cup of cheese is not enough! I just sprinkled the desired amount of cheese when eating. Will make this again! Next time with a spicier picante (I bought mild) or some red pepper flakes and maybe try it with ground turkey for a healthier meal.

This was very good and very easy. I had no problem with the pasta being dry because I added extra water and tomato sauce, didn't cover it either and it came out great. I added seasoning to the meat and gave it extra flavor. Will make again.

Very easy to make and tasted great. I used salsa because thats what I had. I thought it was a 4 star the day I made it and a 5 star the next day when had the leftovers - My husband who is very picky said it was a 2 star the first day and 3 star the next. Its gets better as the flavor melds. yumm !! Thank you for sharing your recipe :)

I loved this recipe. I did make a few changes though, I used a whole can of corn and a bean & garlic salsa. I made this dish for myself so I have been putting the cheese on as I take it out to eat it and I also added some sour cream to the bowl as well. It's absolutely delicious!
