I came across this recipe several years ago, and it has been a hit with my family ever since. My children especially enjoy the unique noodles! It's ideal to take to our church potlucks, because it serves a large group.—Darlene Carlson, Jamestown, North Dakota

Chopped Onion SubstituteWhen there’s no time to chop onions, onion powder is one option. Substitute 1 tablespoon of onion powder for one medium chopped onion. For the best onion flavor, use frozen chopped onions or dried minced onion (found in the spice aisle). One tablespoon of dried minced onion equals 1/4 cup minced raw onion.

I made this in the morning for a party & then reheated & served in my slow cooker in the evening. All of my guests loved this dish. Everyone thought this was catered with the rest of the food. People were raving about it & wanted to take some home. I do suggest making a double batch if you'll be serving it for a party. Very very good.

Just made it and I like it very much. I used Monterey Jack Cheese and Moz. cheese because that is what I had on hand. Turned out very good. My husband will like it too!

My family loves this recipe and I make it all the time. It is great for a crowd and I can make it up the day before and bake it the next day for dinner. I have even made a double batch and frozen some (before I baked it) for later use. I do not measure the cheese so I am sure I add more than called for.

I would like to see reviews of the recipe as printed. "What I did to the recipe" is not helpful.

After I made a few alternations, this proved to be a very easy supper. I rated it 4 stars because it was good, just a lot like other casseroles. I halved the recipe and used small shell pasta instead. I skipped the diced tomatoes and added some spaghetti sauce. I also skipped the tomato paste and mushrooms and skipped the step of simmering with the bay leaf. To add more smoothness, try adding something like 2 oz. of softened cream cheese. Overall, good basic casserole.

Everyone (incl. 2 kids - 8 & 11) devoured this one! I did skip the mushrooms though, but added fresh green pepper instead. I also added an additional cup of cheese (3 total). LOVE THIS RECIPE!

The recipe was good I did however tweak it a little bit for more flavor i used some of the other reviewers sugustions such as using fresh mushrooms, half italian sausage for some of the ground beef ,fresh basil and oregano. It came out really good and it reheats well. I will definately make again.
