I, like the others tweaked the recipe a bit. While the beef was browning I used seasoned salt, pepper, garlic powder and italian seasonings and cayenne pepper w/ a little worshestire sauce. I also added chopped green pepper and the onions and about 4 garlic cloves minced, to the beef. When I layered I put the potatoes (which I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder and old bay-it gives a kick), then the soup mixture (which i added seasonings to as well and doubled), then ground beef,then sharp cheddar cheese shredded, I repeated layers without cheese and put foil on and put in oven. Took out after 1 hr 15 min and then added shredded cheddar and shredded pepper jack on top. Served with crescent rolls and peas. Absolutely delicious. Nice change from handburger helper. All products I had in the fridge or pantry. I have 3 kids (10,4 and 3) and they ate it all up and asked me to make it again. Will def make again!
