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.

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.
