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've made this dish many times and there are never any leftovers.

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.

Our family really liked this recipe. I used half a pound of Italian sausage-turkey plus one pound of the lean ground beef. I used fresh mushrooms and extra garlic. Yummy!

I thought this was a very good basic recipe and my family liked it very much. I used more noodles than called for and felt I could have probably used the whole 16 ounce box. That is my preference though, as I like more noodles than meat in dishes like this. I needed to add more spices/ seasonings for my taste. I added more garlic along with some Worcestershire sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, fresh minced parsley, dried oregano , and a bit more sugar. I replaced some of the water with red wine and used fresh mushrooms instead of canned (sauteed them with the beef, onions, and garlic). I added mozzarella and fontina cheeses , along with Parmesan, to the middle and top layer of the casserole. Good meal with yummy leftovers and I would make this again. Easy too, thanks for the recipe!

I wasn't wowed by this recipe but it was still very good. For me, it seemed like it needed a little something extra. Leftovers warm up well and I almost think it was better the next day. Served it with a Caesar salad and garlic bread. Whole family ate it but no one made any comments about it.

I made this for a family reunion a few weeks back and everyone loved it!! I used Italian Seasoned ground turkey instead of the beef and also substituted red cooking wine for part of the water. Deeelicious and easy to make!!

My husband and I loved this. He isn't a "red sauce" lover and he REALLY enjoyed this. Because it made so much, I put some in a smaller casserole dish for the two of us and made a larger one and froze it for another day when we have company. Yes, it is that good!

I made this for my family last night and WOW - this is a really good dish! There was plenty of flavor and was pretty easy to make. The first "wow-factor" was pulling it out of the oven - it provides a GREAT presentation. I served it with the following: salad (romaine lettuce) with oil/vinegar dressing, italian green beans, and garlic bread.

I think I will try italian sausage instead of ground beef next time to give it alittle more flavor/bite. But it was easy to make.
