Great recipe; however, my changes were: used ground chicken as we don't eat red meat, added A LOT more spices like garlic salt, onion salt some pepper. I also used some fresh garlic (you know the kind out of the jar that's already minced, I guess that's not "fresh"). Other than that I kept it the same, I was just concerned about the blandness some people experienced so I upped the spices. My family loves casseroles and this one is a keeper! I also chose to bake it instead of serving it right away, so I just poured it all into a casserole dish, topped with mozza cheese and baked for about 15 minutes. Yum! Served it with some garlic bread.

Like others said, very bland. I seasoned the meat heavily, so it tasted good, but the sauce is very lacking in flavor. I dumped a bunch of garlic powder and pepper on it, but it still needs more. I don't know what combination of spices would make this good, so I'm just not going to make it again.

My husband and I really enjoyed this easy weeknight meal. A quick throw-together kind of hamburger helperish skillet meal, it was very hearty. I saw others' comments about the recipe being bland, and I think that is because the recipe is very light on the spices. A "pinch" is not nearly enough of any of the spices. I used a generous 1/2 tsp each of the onion powder, garlic powder and salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. I also used more evaporated milk than the recpie called for because it was really, really thick. With extra milk, the consistency was great. We loved it and I will definitely make this again for a super-quick and easy weeknight meal.

This was great, but sat really heavy so I had a lot of leftovers. The ingredients really added up to a good ole comfort food dish, even if it was pretty dense. I like that when it's this tasty. I live alone but failed to cut this recipe so by day 5 of eating this for dinner it seemed a lot less satisfying than when I first made it.

Ok;.. So I did have to omit the corn due to us not having any.. but, I went step by step for the rest of it.. and my husband ( who will eat anything) wouldnt eat it. So, I did this as I love to try new things, and there were some great reviews But.. Hubby wouldn't eat it, so I will not be making this again...

Not bad. Very filling and easy to make. Used fresh onion/garlic instead of powders.

I make a variation of this recipe that is very similar minus the cheese and cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom soup, because no one in my family likes mushrooms. We love this casserole and have been making it for years. It is requested sometimes once a week.

My family wasn't thrilled with this recipe at all. It did make a lot, so I guess we have something for lunch tomorrow. Thanks for sharing though.

Oh, so good! Was a big hit in my house but we LOVE cream cheese! My four year old to me I was the "purdiest good cook ever" she ate two bowls of this! Then my 18 mo old had two of her own bowls without the ground beef, she seemed to enjoy it very much.

This is a great, quick recipe! My family was a little leery about the cream cheese, but they loved it. For a little TexMex twist, I added a 10 oz. can of chopped chiles in place of the corn, and a small jar of medium salsa in place of the cream of mushroom soup. And I served it with a big basket of tortilla chips for scooping (or in case someone didn't want to dirty a fork.)

Looks like a hit with all five of my kids. I added the whole onion, too, as well as some onion garlic spice.

I've been making my own version of this for years. Thought I would mix it up and try this one. This was not a hit in my house and I will not make it again.

VERY Yummy (with modifications). First off, I halved the recipe since it was huge. Then, I used one large onion chopped (instead of onion powder). I also used 3 large garlic cloves (instead of garlic powder). I used cream of chick soup since that's what I had (instead of cream of mushroom). Finally, I used about 2 Tbls of skim milk (instead of evaporated milk). It was excellent and I'll definitely make this again!

This is an old family recipe. I omit the mozzarella, use cream of chicken soup & I use a pkt of brown gravy mix instead of the spices. I do bake it all in the oven instead of on the stovetop...it's better that way, I think. Not very healthy but it's great for when you are going for comfort food. My grandkids loved this as much as my children used to! I served it w/ a salad & Golden Sweet Cornbread (from this site).

Sorry, but this was really bad. I even tried to help it along with more spices, a can of green chiles, sour cream, and black beans. It was still very blah and I can't imagine it as the recipe stands.
