Follow these changes from another reviewr and it's a 5: Due to others' reviews, i made some significant additions to the recipe, and it turned out great! With alterations as follows, everyone raved about the dish: I upped the green pepper (used a whole large pepper), used two cans of italian diced tomatoes, added one 8 oz can tomato sauce, almost doubled the mushrooms by using over 1/2 a lb of fresh, added 1 tsp italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper; I reduced the cheddar to one cup and added two cups of mozzarella, mixing them together; to the bottom layer of pasta I mixed in 1 jumbo raw egg, 1/2 cup parmasan cheese, and salt and pepper (to form a better "crust"); I had to up the water in the soup a bit (maybe to 1/3-1/2 c) and sprinkled basil, s & p over all. With these complicated sounding but really easy alterations, it was awesome! Served with crusty french bread, cesear salad, and the chocolate pudding pie off this site (see reviews).

A little plain: needs more seasoning. I followed what the directions said except used garlic tomatoes and garlic mushroom soup. I'm a beginner and found this an easy recipe, but messy!

Husband said it just got better and better!

This recipe was a lot of fun to make. I made it for my own family of four, plus my extended family of six. My 13-year-old cousin loved it and went back for seconds. My grandfather ate his own, some of my cousins, and he went back for seconds! (That's a great sign because he doesn't eat much in general) I added a lot of the changes recommended by other reviewers such as using fresh mushrooms (canned ones are yucky), adding Italian seasoning, etc. It came out flavorful and the preparation was completely stress-free. I only gave it 4/5 because it needs some ingredients added and should be made with as many FRESH ingredients as possible for the best results.

Very good - Shane loved it!!! Next the cream sauce in both layers, not just the top!

Very simple to make with great results. Entire family enjoyed it.

This is a really great recipe! There is no need to alter it but I did season my ground beef a little more just due to personal taste. My boyfriend loved it from the first bite! Thank you!

I made this dish and didn't like it at all!!! I was a bit skeptical to try it to begin with. The addition of mushroom soup was not very good (that's what I was skeptical about...) and out of place. I will not make this dish (or any form of it) ever again. Sorry!

was good but my husband liked the one from kraft better, this one need more sauce in it. will try again.

HUSBAND LOVED IT!!! I did a few modifications--- 1 tablespoon dried parsley--- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese--- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder--- 2 cloves garlic, minced--- 1/2 teaspoon salt--- 1 tablespoon white sugar--- 1 bay leaf--- 3/4 teaspoon dried basil--- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper--- Oh ya, my husband came home starving so I didn't even bother baking it.

This is wonderful. I omited the green peppers and used stewed tomatoes and chopped them up b/c that's all I had. I loved it b/c I really dont like spaghetti sauce! I will keep this in my rotation now!

YUMMMMM!!!!!! I am so glad that I found this recipie. This is one of the few meals I have prepared that my 6 year old has asked for more!!!! I made a few changes. I used italian turkey meat and organic veagtables. I also put a full cup of milk instead of 1/4th and I put it on the bottom layer as well. I also used a whole onion!!! IT WAS SO AWESOME...

This is one of the best recipes!! I make 1 1/2 cans of mushroom soup mixture and I us 2 cups of motzerella and 2 cups colby/jack! I usually cook it an extra 10 minutes or so, it holds together better. :)

Really good! I added the soup and cheese to the meat mixture and it worked well. I also used chicken instead of beef. Will make again!

this i really don;t know about it with the cream mushroom. but i try it and my husband and i both love it . this is a keeper. i will be making this again. thanks

This dish is excellent and is served at least monthly in our home by request. The only thing I changed is mixing the soup in with the meat mixture instead of pouring it over the top. It makes a smoother end product with a juicier all around taste. Delicious!!!

This is absolutely fantastic... and my extremely picky 3 year old son asked for 3rds!
