This recipe tasted like a midwest meal, to feed the farm hands. My husband and I both really liked it. I used a thickened brown gravy with the ground beef, added a down home flavor.

My family loved this, four picky boys and a husband, they at it all! I made it for 8 servings and it filled them up, but there were no leftovers, and my kids wanted to take some in a thermos for lunch the next day! I will probably double the recipe next time, at least double the potatoes or perhaps add frozen peas, corn, etc. Also, I had read previous reviews saying it didn't have much taste, so I added Shoups Country seasoning to the ground beef while it was browning.

I added worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture. It still seemed to be missing something. I used sliced/sandwich cheese and it worked well.

If your looking for a low budget, low excitement, low taste meal you have found the mother load. If your looking for something cheap with hamburger just get Hamburger Helper..I recommend the pizza version. (review by Chris Rathje/Certified Working Chef)

This was a pretty good recipe. I was making it for my husband's Pakistani family, so I added hot peppers to the beef and garlic to the potatoes. And I didn't use any milk in the potatoes; they were already pretty liquidy.

This is a great recipe for my meat and potato man! I added a spoonful of sour cream to the top of each serving that made it perfect for us. We're keeping this one!

I took this to a pot luck dinner and it traveled very well. I do believe it would have been a little better (for my taste) if I had added a jalapeno pepper or some chilies to it. Thanks for the recipe.

I made this adding some of our favorite spices. I added garlic to the meat and the mashed potatoes. I added a layer of peas, also. You can get very creative with this recipe. Next time I am going to make a thick gravy with the meat - my family can hardly wait to eat this one again!
