It's not uncommon for folks to go back for second helpings of this hearty main dish when I share it at church potluck suppers. The combination of ground beef, noodles, cheese and a zippy tomato sauce is a crowd-pleaser.

Great recipe to change up spaghetti.

I would make it again with some additions. It seemed a little dry so I would add another can of tomatoes and more spices.I also added some garlic and more chili powder.

Made this recipe tonight for dinner and everyone loved it. I did not include the cayenne pepper because of my families history of heart burn, but I think next time I'll add an additional can of tomato sauce!!

Yummy! I make this very often and it's especially good on a cold winter day with fresh Italian bread! Everyone loves this one!

I was looking to try something new. So gave this a try and it was good, I added fresh mushroom which I sauteed with the onions. Would be great for a pot luck. Can be made in advance. Would definitely make again.

The recipe is too mild if you like spicy pasta dishes but probably too spicy for most kids. It is good but consider tweaking it to meet your family's taste. Next time I make it, I will use Italian sausage, add mushrooms, and break the spaghetti into smaller pieces. It is good leftover!

Made this tonight for the second time. I think I prefer it with macaroni or some shorter pasta than spaghetti. I used two cans of tomato sauce because it seemed too dry without it. Tastes good. Will definitely make again.

This is absolutely excellent--- great comfort food! This was a huge hit with Mom served it for the first time. Love the cheese baked on top!

I have made this recipe many times-and shared the recipe often too. It is wonderful! I also really like it with mushrooms or chopped squash or zuccini added.

I have made this numerous times and I absolutely love this dish. I do add a bit more noodles then the recipe calls for. I HIGHLY recommend this~

This time I made this with macaroni. Had a pkg. I needed to use. Just as good!

I've made this many times and it's always delicious. Sometimes I'll use what's handy - tomato soup instead of tomato sauce, jarred cheddar cheese sauce or campbells cheese soup instead of the shredded cheese. I'll serve with a side salad and some garlic bread. My husband always asks for seconds.

This recipe is so easy to make! I always use 2 cans of both diced tomatoes and the tomato sauce.
