I love this recipe! I love the beef onion mix and the noodles! I add corn and make way more potatoes then called for, but always refer to the original recipe. My family loves it and so do guests!

My husband LOVES this. It is so easy to make. I have always been against instant mashed potatoes, but I used them and honestly couldn't tell a difference. I sprinkle cheese on the top during the last ten minutes and it gives it a nice kick.

For being such an easy recipe with only a few ingredients, it can't be beat. I have made this recipe three times. My husband likes it a lot, so does my son. They are both picky eaters...I recommend you try it, you may be surprised.

This was a very easy and yummy recipe that I was able to make using ingredients I usually keep on hand. I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef, used 3 cups of instant mashed potatoes instead of 2, and sprinkled shredded Cheddar cheese over the top before baking. Delicious!

Very good. Even my 4 year old daughter who doesn't like onions ate it. I will make this again!

I used Onion Soup mix (store didn't have beef onion flavor) and it worked out fine. I made enough mashed potatoes for 10 servings (according to product box) - and that was just right. 2 cups of mashed potatoes is definitely not enough to cover a 13x9 pan. I added 1 can of corn, and 1 can of green beans, and topped it all off with both paprika and shredded cheddar cheese. I found that 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef was the perfect amount. Hubby loved it, it was very flavorful and a great comfort food!

This was good-- I added a can of corn to the mashed potatoes, and some sprinkled cheese on top. I still felt the beef needed more flavor, however... I will play around with this recipe and see what I come up with. But my boyfriend liked it, and he doesn't like much!

EXCELLENT!!! I didn't have the beef onion soup mix so I used (MAINEPOTATO's) suggestions and was a little aprehensive, but it was delicious. My picky 8 year old and easy to please 18 month old both gobbled it up! There is barely enough left for my husband when he gets home later.

Great recipe! I love the versatility you have with it, according to family taste or what's on hand. Like others I added veggies and cheese. I am already thinking of what other options there are on additions to this. Thanks!

Needed dinner in a pinch one night, whipped this up and it was a big hit! My husband and 1 yr old daughter loved it. I didn't have the beef stew mix, so I used a can of cream of celery and reduced the hot water by 1/2cup. I added a little cayenne pepper to the meat/soup/noodle mix. After adding the potatoes, I sprinkled shredded cheddar and the paprika over the whole thing. It was SO good! I'll be making this again.

Yum! I really liked this recipe. I followed some of the other suggestions and added extra (instant) mashed potatoes, 1 chopped red potato, corn, carrots and cheddar cheese on top. My fiance (who is generally a very picky eater) loved it.

This was easy and tasty. I,however, added 1 can pinto beans as a layer on top of the beef,sprinkled with bacon bits, and added some shredded cheese on top of the potatoes. I like this recipe because you can do so much with it as far as flavoring.

This recipe was VERY easy and my family ate it pretty well. It is a great recipe to have on hand for those quick dinner nights. I felt like there was something missing, but couldn't figure it out. I did add corn and cheese per other suggestions, making it a whole meal. I will make this again.
