This was one of my mother's recipes also, she loved to take it to Potlucks and always received rave reviews. I add shredded sharp cheddar cheese during the last 15 minutes of baking. If you want it spicer, add chili powder to the ground beef.

I thought this was dull, and so did my husband. Even after I added a jalapeno to the ground turkey (I substituted) and spiced it up, it still didn't do it for me. Perhaps I would give it another star if the potatoes had some zip.

I changed this recipe up quite a bit as it looked a little bland. I used stew beef instead of hamburger, added minced garlic and used tomato sauce instead of canned condensed tomato soup. To make the sauce a little richer I added about 1/2 cup of red wine. I also added sliced fresh mushrooms and baby sweet peas. My hubby is Portuguese and asked where I got the recipe from because it was exactly the same as a portuguese stew he used to eat growing up called Cacoila. Needless to say it made a big hit and will make again with my changes.

Yummy and even better the second and third day! Like other reviewers, I like a little spice. I added chili powder, garlic powder and cayene pepper to the hamburg and onion mixture and then used two cans of tomato soup. I will be making this again.

This was very good. I added two cans of tomato soup instead of one because it would have been way too dry otherwise. I also added about an extra 3 slices of bacon and I didn't add it until after it had been cooking for an hour.

I only rate this recipe a 4 because i think it could be made easier. I boiled the potatoes after peeling and dicing. while they were boiling I cut the bacon in small pieces and sauteed with 1/2 lb hamburger and onion. I added 3 cloves garlic. For the casserole I put the potatoes on the bottom and dumped (after straining the grease) the hamburger mixture on top of that. I added 2 cans tomato soup on top and mixed w/ a can of corn. I grated a little cheese on top put it in the oven for 25 minutes at 350. i just realized I didn't even use the kidney beans and it is still fantastic. It was fabulous and will probably taste even better tomorrow. i think next time i will add diced tomatoes to the hamburger mixture. this recipe is great start and I thank you for the idea.

I made this for my family last night and nobody liked it. I ended up throwing half of it away. It sounded good, but was very disappointing.

I made several adjustments to the basic recipe. I used only 1 pd of hamburger. I also used 2 cans of condensed tomato soup. I used one huge can of kidney beans and one regular sized can. I melted cheese on top of the casserole toward the last 10 min of the recipe and then used the broiler for 5 min to crisp and brown the cheese. We love garlic, so I put a whole lot of that in there. I threw in a bit of chili powder and ground cayenne pepper as well. Turned out delish.

delicious!! Although I would probably do like someone stated and that is add more tomato soup so it's not so dry. I also added cheddar cheese and fried onions instead of the bacon.

I just wanted to say I have a recipe very much the same as this one except it calls for two cans of tomato soup instead of one. That makes all the difference it is never dry.

I followed the instructions exactly (except adding some spices as other reviewers suggested, and I added some water) but it still turned out overly dry. I will try to modify into a crock pot recipe, because the kids LOVED it and ate second helpings. I think cooking in the crock pot might help retain some moisture. Overall, this is good comfort food for a cold evening.

This recipe was a huge disappointment. It has potential but needs changes; if I ever make this again, I would mix the tomato soup throughout the meat mixture since only the top had flavor and the layers below were dry. I would also coook this on a much higher setting like 425 since the potatoes were still hard after an hour of baking on 350. The only redeeming quality was the flavor on the top where the soup was poured on.

This is a good old fashioned casserole. The bacon does get a little overdone on top..maybe bake the casserole until almost done before adding the bacon on top would help. I used the leftovers as a base for breakfast omelets later in the week. Turn out really impressive.

This is a very good recipe. I did not have tomato soup so I used a can of tomato sauce and a can of rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilis) I am also lazy so I did not peel the potatoes. I think next time I will cook the bacon before putting it in the oven because it was just a little greasy. Over all a good dish.

I chose this recipe based on its ingredients. Overall it was delicious and very satisfying. A few comments: Taste: I could tell from the recipe that if I made it as printed, it might be a bit bland. So I added garlic to the beef/onion mixture, and I also added chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Prep time: It took me a LOT longer than 15 minutes to prepare. I don't cook every day, but I've been cooking since I was a kid, and I am pretty comfortable with a potato peeler and chopping knife. Unless you are quite a chef, count on maybe twice as long for prep. Covering: I wish I had left it covered for more than the first hour... the top did get rather dried out. But maybe my oven is too hot. Tomato soup: This added a really good taste! But it didn't go very far. Next time I might use twice as much. This is a really wholesome recipe, and it gives you a lot of opportunity to modify it the way you like. In addition to the spices, I melted cheese on top at the end of the cooking, and I served it topped with some sour cream. Yum!

I must diagree with the other reviews. While this recipe is great for quick prep I found it to be rather tasteless and has a very unappetizing appearance. Sorry, I will not be making this again.
