It definitely needs alot of tweaking. Followed some of the others advice and omitted water but increased beef broth to 2 cups and added garlic powder, basil, oregano and salt.

My family thought this was great. After looking at other reviews I added about a tsp of garlic powder and after tasting it after adding the sour cream and sherry I added a tsp more of sherry. Thanks for the recipe PETEZOE

I rarely stick to a recipe exactly but I do with this one. I make it a lot during the cold fall and winter months and it's never failed to please. Tonight we had it with a side caesar salad and a couple glasses of red wine. It's a household favorite. Thank you!

I really loved this! I made slight changes based on reviews; I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of tomato juice. I used 2c beef broth instead of water. I used 1tbsp worcestershire; 1/4c wine; added basil & oregano. Just about everything else the same as written - and I did top with Parmesan & bread crumbs. It was rather unique and delicious - thanks!!

I really loved this! All I added to the recipe was a tsp each of basil and oregano. Another cook said it was basically hamburger helper, and maybe it's because I'm a college student, but I love it either way! Even fried up some zucchini with it and it was yum!

I first had this recipe when staying with a friend. I made a note of it so I could look it up (had to make sure it was THIS recipe!) and make it for my family. We love it. I've made it with some substitutions because I didn't have all the ingredients, and I've made it according to the directions (except I always use butter!). It's always turned out well. Sometimes I have a hard time getting my family to eat leftovers but I never have an issue with this recipe.

The only ones in my house that liked this were the dogs. I found it to be very bland, even after adding some garlic to try and kick up some flavor. For all the comments about Hamburger Helper, I would prefer the box stuff to this. I did however find that the noodles came out perfectly cooked, and had wonderful texture to them. Just too bland of a dish for our liking. I won't be making this again.

My husband and son loved this. I modified a bit by substituting the tomato juice with one can of Italian stewed tomatoes undrained, omitted the sherry and water and instead increased beef broth to 1 1/2 C. I took the advice of another reviewer and used a mix of parmesan cheese and italian bread crumbs over top at finish. Good and hearty for a cool fall night! (and no leftovers due to them cleaning their plates more than once). I made this for only three and would definitely use more hamburger or even double to whole recipe to feed more than three...

My family enjoyed this recipe. I didn't have tomato juice so I used 1 small can tomato sauce and 1-1/2 cans beef broth. I left out the water. At the end I added some of the Mexican blend cheese. An easy recipe on a busy night. Thanks
