This was excellent. Thickness of sauce and texture were perfect. I skipped the mushrooms (I don't like them) and substitued Boca vegetarian 'burger' crumbles for the ground beef. Will definately make again!

This recipe was excellent! I used hot hungarian paprika for the top and in the tomato mixture which gave it a little kick. Instead of making one large 13x9 pan, I made 3 smaller 8x8's. Really yummy!

Overall, this is a good dish. I did not feel that it was saucy enough so I added a can of tomato sauce in addition to the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. The sauce by itself would make great spaghetti sauce. I would recommend not to over cook the noodles. They do the best if slightly undercooked.

My husband loved this. It keeps well for leftovers. It was a little time consuming, but a really yummy comfort food dish.

I sometimes omit ingredients I don't have on-hand, like green onion, and it still turns out well. I mix shredded cheddar in with the cream cheese mixture, and also layer some on top - yum!

I love this recipe. The only things that I do different are using a jar of spaghetti sauce instead of tomatoes and tomato paste. I also use white onion instead of green in the cream cheese/sour cream mixture and add italian seasoning to it. I have also topped it with cheddar cheese. Lots of stuff you can do with it and it's all yummy!!!

This was very good, and not too hard. Tastes a lot like a scrambled lasagna. I added more grated cheese when I layered it, and simmered the sauce a little longer after reading about the juiciness. I think I'd rather go ahead a make my lasagna.

We won't make this again. Good flavor but runny and with a horrid texture, like a great pasta dish put through a blender. Recipe needs work.

We love this! Be sure to add enough seasoning as the tomato paste and crushed tomatos are bland. The mix of sour cream and cream cheese is great!

I also layered the casserole and topped it off with a light layer of mozzerella/ parmesean cheese mix. I had some fresh basil from the garden and added that instead of the parsely. It was great.

it was an okay meal, although it overflowed so you may want to use a lager dish to bake it in and i recommend you layer it: 1/2 noodles, 1/2 sauce, cheese, rest of noodles, rest of sauce, it's much better

Tasty recipe that smelled great while baking. I omitted the green pepper and didn't think it compromised the taste. I sauteed onion, mushrooms and garlic while browning the ground beef instead of before as directed. I cut the recipe in half and it was the right size for dinner with some leftovers. Everyone in my family ate this up, including my 3 year old and 9 month old. Will make this one again.

I've made this recipe a number of times now. I really like it. I don't really modify except to omit/change ingredients that I don't have on hand. The green onions often get omitted. I will usually add extra garlic and more seasoning to give it a little more flavour although its really good just as is. Awesome recipe! Lots of work but well worth it!

This just takes too long to make. I can go to McDonalds and eat the meal before this is done. It doesn't taste bad, but for a quick meal...it's too much. It's almost 2.5 hours, due to the prep work, the stewing and the baking...sorry

This was soooo good!! I used my favorite sauce and stirred in artichoke hearts after the sauce was cooked in place of the green peppers. It was sweet and tender and just plain yummy....your family will love it...at least my family did...and the leftovers were even better!!

This was delicious! The only ingredient adjusting I did was, instead of using beef I used three GardenBurger Flame Grilled Patties (My husband & I are vegetarian). The directions forgot to tell you to add the garlic, so I added it when I went to simmer everything. I layered it like I would lasagna. Noodles, sauce, cheese. Noodles, sauce, cheese. I will definitely make this again!
