This was a very good recipe! I had everything around the house already so I decided to try it out. I changed a couple of things though. Instead of using milk and heavy cream I used one can of cream of mushroom soup and one cup of prepared chicken broth. This gave the recipe some extra flavor. I also added some Mrs.Dash and Lowry's seasoning salt. I cut back on the cheese a bit too but it still turned out great!

I have mixed feelings with this one. Very rich indeed......not sure if I did something wrong, but ours came out too soupy. I ended up cooking a bit more hamburger and some hashbrown potatoes to add to it. So now we have tons leftover, haha! I would definitely like to try it again, but maybe next time use less milk and cream for the amount of meat and potatoes it calls for. I also added season salt and garlic powder to the sauce. I think the hasbrown potatoes work better too unless you cut your potatoes super thin.

This was just way too bland for my family. May be a good basic recipe to jazz up with whatever extra you might have on hand or are in the mood for.

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes were not cooked and slightly crisp. The amount of hamburger seems too little for this size pan and lacks flavor. We basically tasted cheese and cream. Very rich and not enough flavor for my family.

I found this recipe looking for some real comfort food for dinner tonight with ingredient that I had. I'd like to start off by saying that I am not a calorie-counter-- never, ever actually, but happened to see the calorie count in the nutrition info and was shocked at the calories and fat in this dish! 852 calories and 64.8 gms of fat in one serving! Holey Moley! I made some substitutions for taste and to lower the cal/fat. I parboiled my potatoes, but I won't bother next time. An hour in the oven will be fine as long as you slice them relatively thin (1/8 inch). I added a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce and some chopped banana peppers (with the extra juice squeezed out) to the ground beef. For the sauce I substituted 1.5 cups of 2% milk and 1.5 cups of light chicken stock for the 3 cups of milk. Instead of a cup of heavy cream I used 1/2 cup of sour cream that I had on hand. I was going to add a full cup but the sauce was rich enough with only 1/2 cup . These substitutions cut the fat and calories by half! I also added an additional 1 tbl. of flour to the roux because some other reviewers complained of runniness. I browned-up the roux to make the sauce a little more robust. Be sure to keep the flame low and keep stirring. I used 2 cups of cheese instead of 4, which seemed like overkill: I used 1 cup of a jack, cheddar, asadero blend and 1 cup of shredded mozz. I cooked it for an hour in a large cast-iron skillet and it was perfectly done: crisp and bro

This recipe was a good starting point for what I was craving. I microwaved my sliced potatoes for 10 minutes, made a cheesey cream sauce (using Velveeta), topped it all off with about a 2 cups of cheddar. We all really liked it, especially my 2 and 6 year olds!

We loved this "comfort food." We made a few amendments - we didn't have potatoes, so we used the frozen potatoe hashbrown squares instead. We fried them up in veggie oil while making the white sauce, then just crumbled them into the layers as directed. We loved the texture and flavor the hashbrowns gave it. Also, we only had 1.5 cups of milk in the house, so we substituted half & half for the remaining amount of milk called for in the recipe. This added a nice richness to the white sauce (along with the extra calories, so I would not prepare it this way all the time.) If you are in the mood for comfort food, this meets the bill. Not too time consuming, inexpensive, and (well...) comforting.

My husband and I both loved this. He is not big on leftovers and he ate it for lunch for 2 days! I made it as stated except I had some fresh mushrooms that I needed to use so I did a layer of those which I will do again. I also used some extra cheese and it was almost too much cheese. Next time I will just use the amount of cheese the recipe called for. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! I am so glad I tried this.

I think 4 cups of milk/cream are wayyyy too much for a measly 1/4C flour roux. Very, very runny. The cheese cooked down into unappetizing, grainy lumps. Biggest flavor of this dish was *greasy*. With some changes, the potato/beef/cheese combo could be good. We added peas to our casserole.

Was very good and rich. Although the sliced potatoes took an extra 30 minutes before they were done. I'd like to try hashbrowns or diced potatoes next time. Otherwise, very good!!!

Bland, Bland, Bland! I cooked this recipe exactly as listed. I pre-boiled the potatoes whole like reveiwers stated. I cut them into some cubes. I cooked it for one hour. The potatoes were done but very bland. I should of added some spices or something. My end product was not ruiny but I was afraid it would be. The leftovers were not that great either. My boyfriend really liked it (so I gave it two stars), however, I will not make again. I was very disappointed for a four star meal.
