Great recipe with a few minor changes. I substituted ground turkey for the beef. I added onion and garlic while frying the ground turkey. I then added Italian seasoning. I used ~ 2 cups of shredded mozzerella with garlic flavoring instead of the velveeta. I mixed everything together instead of layering. I added bread crumbs and sprinkled extra mozz. on top. It is so easy and came out great. My 2 & 3 year old picky eaters gobbled it up! It also freezes very well into two smaller pans.

Very tasty! I added some more spices to the sauce (garlic, sweet basil, a little hot sauce, ect) and I used sauted mushrooms and onions as well. Yum!

My whole family loved this. The only change I made to the recipe was to add an 8 oz can of mushrooms...but it would have been fine without them. And it is so fast to prepare. One hour from start to on the table...and the last half hour it is in the oven so I had time to clean up the cooking mess, fix a salad, and set the table. It is the perfect week night supper.

Very easy to make and has a lot of flavour too. Made many adjustments (partly because I misread the directions). I began boiling the macaroni before I started the rest of the preparation. Added broccoli, red bell pepper, onions and mushrooms for a more hearty dish. Added oregano, basil and pepper to the ground beef for flavour as others suggested. Shredded mozzerella and cheddar and mixed all the ingredients together rather than layering it before I baked it for 30 min. Still turned out great. I gave 4 stars because there's nothing different or special about it. But, my husband and I still enjoyed it very much. Thank you for a tasty meal!

Good food for me, great for kids. I did 3 cups of sauce and 1 can of diced tomatoes Italian style which I really liked. I also am very glad that I used real cheddar cheese. Will make again.

I tried....but it was just ok. I gave it 3 stars because it was so easy...but another reviewer is right...it tastes like Hamburger Helper. (to be honest I found this site because I was tired of eating that stuff). I am sorry, I won't be trying this again. Thanks anyway for the post.

Very easy, very good. Had to spice up the meat a bit-oregano chopped garlic, cilantro, used rotini instead, and various cheeses we had left over. Family loved it-will make again

Super easy to make and it's ultra rich and creamy! Big hit with the hubby. Excellent comfort food. Leftovers were actually eaten within two days!!! Imagine that.

I actually loved this recipe as did my very picky 14-year-old son. I thought it was incredibly easy to make. I used whole wheat pasta and shredded mozzarella. It was a big hit and I'll definitely make it again. Thanks Elizabeth!

This is kid friendly. My 7 year old daughter ate 2 helpings and wanted more the next day. The adults did not care for this. I used the velveta and it did not taste right in this kind of dish. I think mozzerella would be a better choice. I thought the noodles were to soft. I will only make this again if my daughter has friends over for dinner.

Not that impressed guys. Disappointing after seeing such great reviews. Followed the recipe, added garlic, onion and mushrooms, but still was missing something?? This would probably be a great meal for kids, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything else.

This recipe was SO good that everyone at my dinner table had seconds. Not only that, but my boyfriend came over today on his lunch break - WITH HIS BROTHER - to have leftovers for lunch. However, I did alter things just a tad. I used Ched. and Moz. cheeses rather than Velveeta. I also added Italian Seasonings and onions to the ground beef. Last, I used 4 cups of Rotelle instead of the Macaroni. Next time, I think I'll try a little more cheese and a little more sauce though. But it was FANTASTIC. A++!
