This was fabulous! I followed the recipe exactly, and my husband loved it so much he had seconds, and took some for lunch the next day.

We've made this twice, the first time for a potluck where it was very well liked, and I received several compliments(actually it was gone before I even got through the line, so I didn't even get to taste it that time.) We made it again tonight for a family dinner. As I suspected the first time--there isn't enough sauce. If the tomato sauce was doubled, I believe this recipe would be a 5-star. The cheese mixture has wonderful flavor , so we will be making this often but will be doubling the sauce.

I gave it 5 stars, because, with a little adjusting, it will be perfect. Definately needs more sauce, and I think more hamburger, like a pound and a half. Also, I think the green pepper needs to cooked with the hamburger and onion. Other than that, wow! what a great meal! Awesome flavor. And you can do many variations with it, adding your personal favorites....it's virtually impossible to screw this up!

This is the same recipe that my mom always used when I was a kid. It was always my favorite, and I requested it for birthday dinners. When I make it now I always wish I could eat the whole pan. :)

Instead of making more sauce, I made less pasta. I used a box of Ronzoni's Healthy Harvest rotini (13.25 ounces) and it was the perfect amount for the sauce and cheese mixture. However, even with some herbs added, the sauce had no depth or brightness. I can't remember the last time I used tomato sauce...I use diced or crushed tomatoes out of season...and that real tomato flavor and brightness was very much lacking. I added a splash of dry white wine and a few red pepper flakes, which helped. If I make this again (doubtful) I'll use tomatoes and let the sauce cook down. Also, I left the parm off the top...it has plenty of cheese in it already.

I helped my 12 yr old make this tonight. We followed the recipe exactly. The family didn't think it was all that great. Not nearly enough sauce. Plus, I can do without the layering in a seperate dish and baking too. Next time I make it, if there is ever a next time, I will mix everything together in the pan I make the sauce in. I think it also needs more meat and cheese for this amount of pasta. I also skipped the green onions...didn't have any. Not sure if that would have added anything to the dish....probably not. Thanks anyway.

This is very good! I used 1lb of ground chicken and 1/4lb of ground beef. Gives it the beef taste without all the beef fat. I also used a full jar of spaghetti sauce instead of the tomato sauce. The whole family liked it which is an unusual event. Made enough to freeze half for a quick meal next week. Loved the recipe and will be using it again. Thanks Donna!

This was a GREAT recipe! The only thing I changed was using jar spaghetti sauce rather than plain tomato sauce. Very flavourful, and simply put, delicious! Will be making this one again.

This is very similar to the recipe I remember my family using from the back of a Hunts tomato sauce can. The sour cream and cottage cheese blend and just make this recipe so good. The only difference in recipes is the addition of green bell pepper which would add a nice crunch and color. Very easy to prepare.
