The first time I made this it didn't taste at all like a philly cheesesteak though it was good (3-4 stars). These are the changes I think makes this a 5 star recipe: egg noodles, cheddar cheese soup, Mozzarella cheese (this is a biggy), add sliced peppers (we use banana peppers), slice the onions & do not saute the veggies just put in the casserole raw. This way you still have a little crunch in the onions & peppers & can taste them much more (not to mention 1 less dirty pan & quicker prep).

2 #s of hamburger might be better.

Quick, easy, tasty. Good recipe for "already have everything" and "need to get dinner ready soon!"

I'm torn on how to rate b/c we liked this a lot, however it doesn't REALLY taste like a Philly Cheesesteak (I mean, I really didn't think it would, but if you take it by the name...) I followed the recipe exactly, except I used fresh mushrooms, and I also sauteed the mushrooms, onion (and I added garlic) with the ground beef while it cooked. This makes a HUGE batch, so it's great if you are feeding a crowd, or you want leftovers for lunches or easy, quick suppers through the week, this is great! I poured it in a 9x13 inch baking dish, and Seth and I each had a serving and the BF had 2 huge servings, and we hardly put a dent in it! Will make again for sure.

I used 2 large leftover cubed tbone steaks instead of ground beef and sauteed with the onions and then added everything together and cream of chicken soup. All other items remained the same - turned out amazing!! Everyone loved it!

I left out the onion and mushrooms, used ground turkey and made cream of soup base from this site to replace the cream of mushroom soup. I really like the flavor of thyme so I added more. Turned out really good. Would make again.

We thought this was good! I omitted the oil and cooked the meat (I used 1 pound) and onions together, also adding in a half of a green pepper that I diced up. I thought I had 2 cans of cream of mushroom, but the other can was cheddar cheese soup, so I went with it, and that worked out great. Also, I only had mini penne pasta, so I used that. After mixing everything up and tasting it, I felt it needed something a little more than just the salt and pepper (I did omit the thyme due to personal preference), so I added in some garlic powder and worchestershire sauce, and that really kicked up the flavor. This was great for something different, and something that I would make again! Thanks for sharing. :)

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this dish! We said over and over to eachother during the meal, "This is soo good!". The thyme gave it a wonderful flavor-one that was surprisingly similar to the taste of a Cheesesteak! Because we didn't have canned or fresh mushrooms on hand, that was omitted. As well as the oil because I used the grease from the ground beef to cook the onion while it browned. Then I added the Thyme to the beef/onion. And didn't drain the grease. Then I added the sauce ingredients and let it simmer while I cooked the pasta. As I love to do, I also doubled the topping. It was just so good! We are looking forward to the leftovers.

This was a huge hit! Made it for a get together and it did serve a lot of people. I added green peppers, used 1/2 the cheese, provolone/mozzerella instead of cheddar. Skipped the breadcrumbs. Seasoned the ground round with "Everglades seasoning" while cooking it. Really good. I'll definitely make this again.
