My husband is not a big fan of tomato soup. I can't get him to even come near me when I eat it, but when I make this dish, he devours it like there's no tomorrow! I totally reccommend this dish to all picky eaters! Tastes just like a bacon cheeseburger with ketchup!

This recipe just didn't suit our tastes. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. I think children would enjoy it since the tomato soup flavor was pretty strong.

I recommend that you do not use tomato soup, but tomato sauce, it improves the taste a lot. I also suggest that everyone sprinkle on cheese to suit their taste because just one cup didn't suffice our family. It taste better with some seasoning on it. We don't use bbq sauce or mustard. Yum!

This recipe has a lot of potential - if you skip the tomato soup. I have made this once so far, and all I could smell and taste was the tomato soup. It was very unappealing. I added a bit of ketchup to it, and it was much better.

I plan to make this again, but use 8 oz. of tomato sauce instead of the tomato soup. and then either add ketchup or bbq sauce.

I am absolutely doing this again! We don't use the barbecue sauce or prepared mustard though, the leftovers heat up beautifully, and there are never enough for my family!

Needed something extra, just a little bland. I add durkee st lewis style chicken and rib rub to the meat, but you could use your favorite hamburger spice. Now my sons favorite dish.

I made this recipe a few nights ago and followed cookiemaster13's recommendations but I also added dill relish while cooking and it was amazing!! Everyone went back for seconds :) I had the idea to use the meat mixture without the pasta and serve it on toasted buns for tonight. Kinda like a bacon cheeseburger sloppy joe. :)

I would make it again but add lots more ingredients to pick up the taste. Somehow the barbeque sauce and mustard didn't do it...definitely onion, garlic and probably some home made sauce. I'm finding that a lot of the recipes from Taste of Home could be better tested and changed...just a thought!

Great Recipe! Time and taste is essential in my home. I doubled the recipe. I cooked one 16 oz box of "quick cooking" penne pasta.

I browned 1.5 lbs of hamburger with onion, pepper, salt, and garlic powder in one skillet and baked a whole package of bacon in the oven.

After the noodles were done I rinsed and put back in the pot, added 3 cans of tomato soup, a large squirt of both bbq sauce and mustard. I cut up the cooked bacon and added that also.

After adding a package of cheese - it was served with condiments. What a rave review from both of my children and husband. Super quick and easy and very tasty.

My family loved it the only thing I did different was add alittle tonys, onion powder & garlic powder. We topped ours with both mustard and bbq sauce and diced dill pickles.
