When I pulled this casserole out of the oven, my husband said it looked like poor man's lasagna. Just make regular lasagna! This had a lot of needless steps. I didn't understand cooking it with the separate layers. Each layer tasted plain and flavorless and it all baked dry. I didn't think anything was divine about this recipe and was embarrassed to serve it. We each ate 3 bites and the rest is wasting away in the fridge.

I did not use ANY butter and I also used fat free cream cheese and sour cream.

I alter this recipe from the original when I make it. I use stew meat and cook it in the slow cooker all day. I don't use the tomato base. I make a packet of brown gravy mix instead. The noodle part is super yummy as is!

This was a bit dry for our taste. I ended up adding spaghetti sauce to the leftovers and everyone liked it better.

Like a fast easy lasagna. I upped seasonings (more garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes) a little as we like things spicy. Will add to my rotation of recipes.

I love this. I add lots of hot sauce to the ground beef mix and put onions in it instead of the cheese mix.

Really Divine! I made one modification and that was I used Ricotta instead of cottage cheese. My family thinks they don't like cottage cheese. It is one of our favorite casseroles. Thanks.

This was wonderful, my neighbors loved it! I did use an entire can of spaghetti sauce with the ground beef & spiced it up a little with garlic, italian seasoning and sugar. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly & it turned out to be a winner!

I made this tonight with a few changes due to the reviews and it came out great! First I used a jar of sauce. Then I changed the cottage cheese to part skim ricotta. After I put the noodles and meat in, I put chopped fresh mushrooms and broccoli...then the cheese mix. I tossed the top noodles with a little bit of sauce and sprinkled with mozzarella cheese. Everyone loved it and had seconds too.

This has potential, but only with some modifications. Next time I would use a jar of spaghetti sauce with the meat instead of the tomato paste and spices. It was a tad dry. I added water. Also, I don't think the butter is really needed in the noodles, it just made it greasy tasting. Next time, I'd probably melt some mozzarella on top, too.

OMG, SOOOOOO good! We loved it. I had leftover spaghetti sauce, so I jsut used that instead of the meat mixture this recipe called for. I made the yummy cheese filling, and added about 1 cup of grated motzza and about 1/2 cup of grated cheddar. I then sprinkled about 1 cup of cheddar on top of the casserole as well after it was all assembled. So good! Very quick too. It's deffinetly one of thoes Stick To Your Ribs kidna meals, good for a cold night. The leftovers are great too.

This dish was pretty filling which is a good thing for me. However, the cream cheese mixture was a little wierd. Not my favorite, but I would eat it again if someone made it.

Only problem was that it was too dry. I suggest baking it covered, and/or adding some tomato or spaghetti sauce

This casserole had alot of flavor, however, I thought that it was not enough sauce to it; maybe next time I will use tomato sauce vs. tomato paste. Also, I think adding mushrooms and maybe some mozzarella or cheddar cheese would make it better. I did not think that adding the melted butter made it overly rich, as some people complained about - - the flavor was great!

I love this recipe! If you don't have tomato paste, you can use canned tomatoes. Or if you have ricotta instead of cottage cheese, use that. It's always delicious. A wonderful recipe to experiment with.
