After I put everything in the pan, I was a little skeptical we would like it or it would turn out. Once it came out of the oven and we tasted it, it was fantastic. I didn't do much differently...I accidentally put in a whole pound of maple pork sausage instead of a half pound from misreading it. There wasn't much fat to drain, so I just kept patting it with paper towels to soak up the grease. Instead of ground mustard, I used garlic powder, which is what I usually put in our scrambled eggs anyway. I thinly sliced a few grape tomatoes and laid them on top before baking. It added some color and zip, and was easy to pick off if you didn't want the tomatoes. I did have to leave it in the oven for ten minutes longer. We prefer our eggs a touch "wet", so the consistency was perfect for us. My usually not picky toddler wouldn't try it, but there was plenty for mom and dad! Very easy to make, and it was nice to pop something in the oven instead of standing at a stove keeping watch over a large skillet of eggs or pancakes....it was also a lot less dishes and pans to wash! I'll probably try this again with some experimentation, I think you could add anything to this and it would still turn out great. Thanks for the recipe, I'm keeping this one!

I enjoyed this but my husband and kid did not, so I had quite a bit of leftovers for myself. Although it was very easy to make, I should have followed my gut and doubled the sauce, it doesn't yield very much, and turned out a little dry. This was good but it was a bummer no one else really liked it.

Turned out great, and looked beautiful coming out of the oven. Held its shape wonderfully! I soaked the noodles as reviewers suggested and it turned out great. I had about 2 cups of sauce left over which I immediately froze for later, I'll use it with spaghetti for a quick meal. I will probably get more mozzarella next time, I didn't have enough for the top layer, so I used some shredded pizza blend cheese I had on hand. My grocery had sweet italian sausage in patties, which turned out great. Just crumbled and mixed it in with the ground beef, no casing to mess with. I do wish I followed my gut and drained the grease off the meat before adding the tomatoes and seasoning. It's my only complaint and why I didn't give 5 stars... I thought it was a bit greasy/oily for my taste. Maybe I didn't use lean beef? I forget, lol. Otherwise, it was a big hit, thanks!
