This zesty layered casserole is a real crowd-pleaser. It was one of our children's favorites when they were young...now our grandchildren love it! Plus, it's easier to make than traditional lasagna. —Mrs. Leo Merchant of Jackson, Mississippi

I have made this several times. I only use 1/2 lb of meat though and add in extra cooked pasta to compensate. Easy, delicious and makes great leftovers!

I really like the recipe. The only change I made was to add ricotta cheese instead of sour cream.

Is it really only 8 oz uncooked shell pasta??? Didn't seem like very much at all??

This is a fantastic dish. Threw it in my crock pot for a pot luck; have served it several times for dinner. Equally as good for leftovers too!
