I really had high hopes for this recipe! But I found it quite dry. Only changes I made were to use leftover homemade mashed potatoes and added some frozen mixed veggies and cheese. It was a little better for leftovers when I added some beef gravy. I wouldn't make this again, though.

Yum! This recipie was really good for a quick dinner. (Although it definitely needed some tweaking) I used 6 servings of potatoes to just barely cover the 9x13. I added chopped onions to the beef, and cooked the macaroni for about 10 minutes (until it was done) while adding a little water every few minutes to keep it from burning. I also put gravy over the beef mix, and I put cheese over the potatoes. It turned out great!

what can you say bad about this recipe? Everyone likes it and it's super easy to make after a long day at work. Plus, you can customize it according to your tastes or what you happen to have on hand that day. I always add corn & mushrooms. I also, like other reviewers, make more potato's than the recipe calls for. I've found that making a serving for 6 (according to the box) covers a 9x13 pan perfectly. We also add the cheese during the last 10 min's of baking - just enough to melt it. Great recipe for a cold winter's day !! Thanks Cathy

My family loves this! Super easy! Our 5 year old daughter calls it "Potato Cake". I add 1 cup frozen peas and use rotelle noodles (that's what I happened to have on hand the first time I made this). Always comes out good. Thanks for sharing this one.

This recipe was simple and super easy. I added 1 can diced tomatoes and used real mashed potatoes instead of instant,added frozen mixed vegetables and I put shredded cheese on top of hamburger mixture before putting mashed potatoes in. I will make this i'm sure over and over again...

I thought this was a great recipe, and my family loved it! I substituted the soup mix with grilled onions and it turned out great.

The recipe would have been better without the soup mix, made everything a bit too salty, but otherwise very delicious and very filling.

I'm giving this recipe three stars because my husband really liked it. I found it bland and dry and didn't really enjoy it. I will make it again though, since my husband really liked it. Maybe it just needs a little tweaking to appeal to me. Thanks though for submitting the recipe.

This is a hard recipe to rate as my 11 year old who made it loved it and my husband and I thought it to be "ok". She used instant mashed potatoes and regular Lipton onion soup mix. I'm glad the recipe doesn't call for any salt because the soup mix makes it very salty. She cooked the macaroni for about 8 minutes over a low flame before moving it to the oven for 20 minutes. She sprinkled extra sharp cheddar over the potatoes and that was a nice touch. There weren't enough potatoes to cover the entire casserole. If she makes it again I'll recommend making it in a cast iron skillet and just baking right in that. There is no good reason to move it all to another dish. If you did want to put it in a casserole I would recommend something smaller than a 9x13. This is a great early cooker recipe.

This was great! I was looking for something new to do with ground beef and it worked out well, I made a couple of changes (based on what I had on hand). I added some chopped onion to the ground beef when I browned it and used garlic & herb soup mix instead of onion soup mix.

I altered the recipe. I added string beans to the meat. Also instead of plain noodles I used mac and cheese and layered it. On top of the mashed potatoes I added shredded cheddar, and sprinkled grated parm. cheese. But what I think adds a nice touch is, when it's done baking, put it in the broiler. Just long enough for the cheese to get a bit crisp, and bubbly brown. It looks nicer and taste better!

This was a good recipe, although I do think the mix could have simmered a little longer for the macaroni to cook thoroughly. Overall, a good, quick recipe, even with screaming babies in the room!

Although this recipe isn't awful, the noodles were crunchy. I wonder if I didn't let them cook long enough. It was much better as left overs.
