While I thought this was pretty good, my husband LOVED it. He said it was surprisingly good because it doesn't look all that appetizing. The clincher for me is that it is such an easy recipe to put together (and likely have all ingredients on hand). I did brown ground beef first and baked only 50 minutes total. I also added some garlic salt to cooked beef (potato layer definately needs to be salted on its own) and shredded cheddar on top after it was done--just put back in oven long enough to melt cheese.

I used Ranch Style Beans with jalepenos instead of kidneys and used tomato sauce instead of soup. My husband liked it and I will make it again. My toddler wasn't interested but it didn't look very kid friendly, next time I will try it with cheese.

I added oregano to the potatoes and precooked the hamburger with some extra seasoning. I only needed to cook for about 45 minutes and topped with mozzarella. My toddlers loved it!

This was a great "catch-all" hotdish. Perfect for when you feel you don't have anything in the cupboards. I did add the cheddar cheese and used yukon gold potatoes. The dish had plenty of flavor. Mmmmm-mmm.

I, myself, like more zest and flavor in my cooking, but my family LOVED this meal. I did add some garlic to the hamburger and some cheese on top. My husbands a real meat and potatoes kind of guy and he went on and on about how good this was.

I will try this recipe, but I wanted to make a suggestion for those of you who think it's bland. I make a very similar pot pie recipe with a can of beans, pound of hamburger, can of tomato soup, but it also has garlic salt, oregano and a T. of sugar. We love it and my husband likes his food well seasoned. Maybe that would give it that little extra zip.
