Yummy meal! I added chili powder,paprika,4 cloves of garlic,half an onion,teaspoon of worchestershire,and a few dashes of tobasco sauce. I cooked the corn,tomato sauce,other liquids and stewed tomatos (yes,i used both)while cooking the meat,garlic and onions together in another pan. This is a great meal,the corn gives great flavor and texture. Dunno why anyone would whine about delicious corn flavor in ANYTHING! LOL

Mmm reminded me of a Goulash we made in "Camp Fire Girls" I used about 8oz. of macaroni with 1 pound of ground beef. I threw in some diced celery and onion powder instead of onions for the kids sake. I added some chili powder, a dash of cayenne and worctershire sauce too; I just knew what would make this 4 star into a 5 star recipe! When it was ready I put it in a casserole dish and sprinkled cheese on it! The kids will eat anything with cheese on top! :)

My kids LOVED this. When they came to the table they were all complaining saying they don't want to try it. But I told them just one bite and they were hooked. Differently a new family favorite. The only thing I did different was put it in a glass dish and sprinkled with cheese and put in the oven for ten minutes. Perfect!

This recipe lacked flavor and the corn was sort of an odd pairing for a spaghetti-like dish. My son wouldn't eat it either. I wouldn't recommend this recipe unless you're really in a pinch for something quick and easy.

This was pretty good! I didn't use the exact measuring units per se, I just adjusted to what I thought looked/tasted right (I like to think I'm some super cook lol)! My friends came over and they enjoyed it. I took the advice of everyone else and tweaked it to my liking. I didn't have shredded cheese or anything so I went 'old school' used american cheese slices. After it was all in the pot together, I put half the mixture into a casserole dish and took three slices of cheese and split them in half and put them on top, then I spread the other half of the mixture on top and did the same thing again with the cheese. Then I put the whole dish under the broiler for about 3 to 4 minutes, just enough for the cheese to melt. Then I took it out, and voila, dinner was served! I served it with grated Parmesan cheese and couldn't stop eating it. I went back for seconds, and thirds.....

Well this is exactly what I was looking for considering I only had ground beef and tomato sauce in the house. This is edible but I wouldn't recommend it.

This recipe needed some tweaking, which I knew before I tried it. I added almost 2 tbsp of chili powder and a dash of red cayenne pepper and a dash of cumin as well. Also 4 times the pasta and sprinkle with shredded cheddar at the table. YUM YUM

Easy recipe to make. My teenagers did a great job putting this one together for dinner. Without my help. They used two cloves of garlic instead of powder. This is a keeper for their bachelor recipe box. Teenagers like easy recipes that they can be put together in 15 minutes are less.

I just made this tonight and thought that it was pretty good. I will probably make this again since it was so quick. My 6yo liked it even got seconds. I to made a few changes. I added more pasta and used jar spaghetti sauce and then for some added kick used red pepper and then my favorite sauce Tiger sauce which gives it a sweet spicy kick to it.

After reading some of the reviews, I made my own "southwestern casserole" version of this dish and it turned out pretty good! Instead of garlic powder I used fresh garlic and in place of stewed tomatoes I used a can of diced tomatoes w/green chiles. I also added about a tbsp. of brown sugar. I put half the mixture in a casserole dish and layered mexican blend shredded cheese and then the other half of the mixture on top and another layer of cheese. Covered and baked it at 375 until bubbly and cheese is melted. My kids didn't like the corn, my husband and I did. Maybe next time I'll try half w/corn, half without.

My family liked this recipe's taste but they didn't rave about it. I did though because of how easy it was to make. I did make some substitutions due to the fact that I had to work with what I had in the cupboard. I also made a bigger pot of it because I like to have leftovers for the next day's lunch. I increased the ground beef to 2 1/2 pounds, used a jar of spagetti sauce instead of the can of tomato's and tomato sauce, I didn't use the onion because my kids would reject it before tasting it but used onion powder to taste along with the garlic powder and salt/pepper. I added 2 cups of grated chedder cheese and increased the uncooked pasta to 2 cups. Lastly, I added green beans. It was the only veggie I had available. I think the corn would have been very good in it. Maybe I will try it with mixed veggies next time and would add a little chili pepper for "kick" if the kids were not eating it. This was definately a recipe that you can play with to make it your own. By the way... it tasted very good the next day. That is always good to know when it comes to leftovers.

Wonderful meal go to meal. I make this on a weekday night. It is great quick and hardy meal! I change just a few things. I add more noodles, 1 Tbs Worchestershire sauce, 1Tbs brown sugar, 15oz or more of prepared tomatoe sauce. Everything else is perfect.

This was good. I modified it as I didn't have pasta in the house. I started by sauteeing onion & garlic, then browned the meat. I made two boxes of mac & cheese & mixed it all together.
