I made this for dinner and i have made it twice since then! It is one of me and my boyfriends favorite recipes. I think the Parmesan cheese is a great addition, I would have never thought of putting parmesan on anything other than spaghetti or pizza. I made mine a little more soupier by adding a can of tomato sauce, and a half a cup of water. We served this with a side of white rice. It's so tasty!!! I love it!

My family moaned when I set this in front of them... another zucchini dish... ugh. But all were pleasantly surprised and scarfed it down. Don't pass this one up, give it a try. I used some shredded mozzarella in it and went over so good that there were NO leftovers! I'll make it again!

This is one of those great recipes for modifying to suit your tastes and what you have on hand. I used half a chopped onion, a can of diced tomatoes, 8 oz of tomato sauce, a huge zucchini, lots of garlic and frozen corn. I had to omit the mushrooms since I didn't have any (bummer). I stirred in some minute rice, and topped it with cheddar cheese. It was quick, simple, and reheated well the next day for lunch.

This is a great quick and easy recipe! I used ground turkey instead of ground beef and it turned out really yummy!

This was good and easy dinner. It is great for using up all the zucchini and squash that seems to accumulate. I used minced garlic instead of onions and tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes and I used our favorite Italian seasoning. I took a hint from another reviewer and served it over rice. My two year old ate two bowls full!

This was a hit! I used fresh tomato and fresh red onion, and used ground turkey instead of ground beef. I served it over brown rice, and my boyfriend kept saying "this is great!" I'm definitely making it again soon.

Not a bad recipe - its strengths are its tastiness, ease of preparation and cook time. If you're working all day and hate the idea of cooking a long-drawn out meal, this basic skillet supper may be just what you need. I used ground turkey instead of beef and it turned out fine. I added more seasonings of course, since turkey doesn't cook up as flavourful as beef, but other than that I followed the recipe as is. It didn't turn out 'saucy' like some others have complained about, not sure how it would, since one can of tomatoes is barely enough to spit with, let alone make a sauce with. I served it with garlic bread. A keeper!

My husband and I loved this recipe! It is a great way to use up fresh veggies in your fridge that are on the verge of going bad. My family raises Black Angus and I am always on the look out for a new way to cook ground beef. I agree with the other reviewers about adding more spices to the mix to boost the flavor. I recommend 1/2 tsp of Cumin to give it a savory, smokey flavor. Also, instead of using canned corn, I used 2 cups of frozen corn to cut down on the sodium in the dish. Also, I used 1/2 a fresh onion and 2 cloves of garlic, chopped.

The flavor was really good, but I agree with some other reviews that it is more of a pasta sauce. I cooked up a batch of Fusilli and mixed that into the pan as well once the beef mixture was done. I used Veggie Ground Round instead of actual gr beef since I'm a vegetarian, and about 1/3 of a small cooking onion instead of dried, but those are the only adjustments I made. I think next time I might add a can of tomato paste to thinken a little more,but this recipe is def a keeper.

Very good, very easy. Used fresh tomatoes instead of canned and made more "sauce" by adding a half cup of water and cornstarch. Served in over brown rice. Everybody loved it!

Budget-friendly and quick. I added a can of tomato paste and went a little heavier on the spices. That gave it more of a sauce consistency for covering pasta. Thanks!

We thought this was great. We used fresh vegetables rather than canned and added 12 oz of tomato sauce. We served it over gluten free noodles. This recipe will definetly be used again.

A little bland for my taste, so I added some of my own seasonings. I also added some shredded mozzarella right at the end of cooking and served it over rice. Easy, filling, and quick!

This was tasty and super easy to make. I used garlic powder instead of fresh garlic to save time and it was great. Even when I cook with fresh garlic I usually add some garlic powder because it gives a different flavor and enhances most recipes. I think next time I will top this meal off with shredded mozzarella while it's still piping hot. I used grated parmesan as suggested which was fine too. I used a bit more zucchini as well as yellow squash because I love veggies. I think this entire meal took 20 minutes to make from start to finish plus it's very healthy. I used lean ground beef and drained off the fat. I will be making this again. I would give this 4 1/2 stars if I could.

This was good but definitely lacking something. I made it with angel hair pasta and it tasted ok but I just cant put my finger on whats missing from it. The kids didnt eat much of it so I probably wont make this one too often.

I thought this recipe was very tasty, and if you are looking for something delicious with low sodium, this is the one to check out. It uses a small amount of salt, and other spices to bring out the flavor. You can go one step further and use lean ground beef and low-sodium or no-salt canned ingredients (i.e., the corn, tomatoes, and mushrooms). Very Italian-tasting and very healthy. Followed the suggestion to round it out with garlic bread, made a great meal.
