We really liked this dish. I'm pretty lazy, so I used 2 cans of diced tomatos with basil and garlic instead of the fresh variety. I didn't drain them so I didn't really need the extra water other reviewers are calling for. We'll definitly be making this again.

Loved this. I didn't have any potatoes but I did have a butternut squash. So I pealed and qubed it. Threw it in instead of the potatoes. FANTASTIC!!! I also added cumin. What a great dish. We will make this again!!

did forget to tell you to add the water it is really up to you as to how much water to add...thicker not so much but if you like a little soupier then add more. So sorry for this mistake.

Absolutely a family favorite. I can't believe my kids gobble this up so much. I use ground turkey instead to make healthier.

It wasn't wonderful like I hoped. It was ok for an occasional dish but I wouldn't make it every week. I also had to add more water to the recipe.

Really good. I recommend a little less potato. I added some cayenne and 1 cup of water.

I followed this recipe but made a few changes of my own. I used 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef, substituted celery in place of the green-beans, added one extra potato, added 1/2 cup water along with 26 oz of my favorite spaghetti sauce (instead of tomato sauce and spices), and cooked on medium-low for 1 hour till potato was tender then added the noodles to cook for 20 more minutes on medium. I had to keep checking it to make sure it wasn't going to burn or get mushy. I think next time I will keep the heat at medium-low and cover the pot to cut down on cook time. It was delicious though!!!

I gave it 3 stars. I think it would have been alot better with just potatoes n without noodles or the just the noodles n without potatoes. With both very heavy.

The only thing I did differently was to use stew meat (just because that is what I had ) and floured it lightly before browning. I have since also used a combination of the two, ground beef and stew meat which is also really good. This is a great recipe and actually reminds me in flavor of my Mom's pot roast which in my opinion was GREAT! Thank You for sharing Jackye : - ) ps..this just gets better if you have any leftover!
