I agree that this recipe is on the bland side. It could use more meat and a bit of spice, the thyme is a bit too strong for the cheddar flavor in general, but it is a good start.

We both enjoyed this a lot but had to only give it three stars as you definitely need to halve the flour and add some extra seasonings. I will make this again with these two changes.

Needed to use up some hamburg and thyme. This was easy and tasted great. I followed the advice of other reviews (1/4 flour and 1lb of meat) and was satisfied with the results. Thanks for sharing!

A good weekday meal and great if you want pasta bake but have no tinned tomatoes or tomato paste. Didn't think this recipe would work - but my kids cleaned up their plates!

It was really good and simple to make, but it required just a little more herbs and spices.

This is ok. There is a lot of macaroni though. I used a full pound of beef and there was still to much. I will half the macaroni next time. I used hot sauce and dijon because it is what I had on hand. It needs more flavor though. I may add some garlic powder next time and more hot sauce.

My family all liked this (incl. 1 picky eater!). I did double the beef & added an extra splash of milk. After reading other reviews, I'll probably halve the flour next time. Will make again - thanks!

This was really easy to make and makes quite a bit. If you do not care for the taste of thyme, I would cut the amount it half. The thyme was very prodominate. We loved it and can't wait to have it again.

This is an OK recipe - one for the occasions when you want to do something different with minced beef. I agree the flavour was a bit bland, I think it needed garlic. I served it with garlic bread which was the additional flavour and helped mop up the cheesy sauce. Will definitely make again. A good freezer standby.
