My family loves this recipe. the only change I made was adding sliced beef sausage to the hamburger. I originally had doubts about putting cream of mushroom in with spaghetti but it actually turned out to be delicious. My mother even calls to ask can I make this special spaghetti dish for her and her hubby from time to time.

As written, this is a 3 star recipe. It was very dry and bland in my opinion. We made the following changes: used 1 whole green pepper, 2 jars of mushrooms, 1 & 1/2 pounds ground beef, subbed mozzarella cheese, simmered beef mixture with 1 jar of sweet basil spaghetti sauce and used a smaller dish so that it somewhat held it's shape when you cut it. The mushroom soup mixture gave it an odd flavor when reheated. With our changes, though, I would give it 4 stars. Still missing something.

I really liked this recipe. The cream of mushroom soup was a great addition. My husband wanted a little bit more sauce in the pasta. Next time I think I'll add some soup to the bottom of the pan.

Pretty good but not great. I followed the base recipe and also the top review's suggestions. If i made it again I would not add green pepper, it didn't seem to go well in spaghetti sauce.

I love cooking this meal. It is soo simple yet it is always great. I normally do both cheddar and pepper jack cheeses. This gives it an extra kick. I also change the pasta to corkscrew. This makes it easiers to pick up with a fork. Other than than. This is by far, must most successful dish

This turned out to be a very happy accident for my husband and I. I started out planning to make chili this afternoon, but shortly after I had the ground beef, onions, peppers, and celery cooked up, I found out I didn't have any beans in the pantry, and I wasn't in the mood to run to the grocery store. So, I had to get to work to find something to use that meat mixture for and this was it. I looked at a couple of other Baked Spaghetti recipes, but I had ALL the ingredients for for this one and I loved the number of reviews it had received. Because I had read a few reviews stating that the recipe was bland, I decided to give the meat/tomato mixture a taste before starting the layering process. Score! It was perfect! My husband and I could hardly wait the 35 minutes while the casserole baked and melted all that yummy cheese. We were blown away at how good this was. Since it was just the two of us for dinner this evening, we will be enjoying it again tomorrow! :) I will make this again and again. I'm already planning to bring this the next time I need a nice big main dish casserole for Church or a family gathering. Thanks LaDonna, for this recipe, it's a real winner!!!

This was really good, a perfect dish for a cold night. I loved the cream of mushroom soup in this, I never would have thought of that. I added 2 cloves of chopped garlic to the meat while browning, which added great flavor. We really love chunks of tomatoes in spaghetti, so I threw in a can of stewed tomatoes along with the diced tomatoes. Doubled the mushrooms, used plenty of italian seasoning, and used mozzarella and cheddar. I made this a little differently because I was feeling lazy... after simmering the meat mixture and cooking the pasta I just threw it all together and mixed it well. Then I put about a 1/3 of it in a casserole dish, topped with a layer of cheese, and repeated twice. Topped w/ the soup and parmesan as written and it was just perfect. My fiancee DEVOURED this! Thank you :)

I added some garlic to the recipe but thought the recipe was still a bit bland. Not quite sure if I would make again.

In reading the other reviews I changed the ingredients as follows: 10oz spaghetti, 11/2cups of grn pepper, 8oz of fresh mushrooms, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning (instead of oregano), 3 cups of cheese (2 cups of cheddar, 1 cup mozzarella. The recipe didn't state, but I did not drain the diced tomatoes. I cooked the fresh mushrooms during step two. After the noodles were cooked I added 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 1 beaten egg and 1 teaspoon of steak seasoning and this gave the noodles a little favor kick. I thought this was tasty after a few modifications. Overall, this is a versatile recipe where ingredients can be omitted or added according to personal taste.

This recipe was easy to make and with a few additions it would be wonderful. I took advice from another reviewer and mixed all of the ingredients together, poured into 9X13 and topped with cheeses. The cream of mushroom soup makes it really creamy,but as others commented I did find it to be a little bland. Next time I will add salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, oregano and a few red pepper flakes. It is definitely worth making again!

This was really good! I was pleasantly surprised, and my husband and daughter liked it as well. I left out the green pepper as I'm not a fan at all, and I did do half ground beef, half ground sausage, and added some eatra seasonings, including garlic and fennel. I was a little worried about the spaghetti being dry, so I added a little extra milk to the cream of mushroom soup, and added that to the noodles in two layers, rather than just all on top. I really liked the way the soup made it taste. I'll definately be adding this to my monthly family dinners. I think next time I'll try it with fresh mushrooms.

Not too bad. I loved how soft the noodles came out and everything just melded together wonderfully. The cream of mushroom was a great addition but I felt like it was missing something. A little lacking in flavour.

This is a very good recipe. My boyfriend said last night while eating "this is the way spaghetti should be cooked." I have made it several times, and last night when I went to get my M-room soup I didn't have, so I used celery. It was just as good!

I normally make this with spaghetti sauce, but this way was great. I used ground turkey and added garlic powder, Italian seasoning and s&p to everything. Also, added fresh parsley and fresh parmesan after baking. Thanks for sharing!
