I really liked the "bones" of this recipe in that it sounded simple and filling, however, I knew this would not feed my family of 3 teenagers! i did use 1# 93% lean hamburger, 1 can health smart soup, added 2 cans of mushrooms, 1 cup Greek yogurt, a little extra bouillion, frozen peas, fresh cracked pepper and fresh parsley. Instead of mashed potatoes I served the "gravy" over baked potatoes. The result was great and filling. Will definitely make again and serve with a salad.I think the recipe would have been a little bland without the adjustments.

I remember this from my high school cafeteria. It's just as good now as it was then. I did add a little onion; but that was the only change I made to this really easy recipe.

This is a great recipie and something I can eat while recovering from some pretty serious oral surgery. Plus the fact that it just plain tastes great. I'll be making this again for sure!

This is a winner for our family! The kids cleaned their plates and told me I could make this again! I really don't like hamburger, but I ate this and liked it. Will make again for sure, as it was very cheap to make!

Okay- I couldn't help myself. Nothing is wrong with this recipe- as another reader stated you can use lean ground beef, skim milk, etc. to healthy it up if you want to. WHATEVER has some serious issues. Sorry- weirdo. lol

If WHATEVER had taken the same effort into looking at healthy alternatives to this recipe instead of mindlessly ranting, they would have found that this recipe can be made quite healthy. I used vension burger instead of ground beef. I used LOW-FAT cream of mushroom soup, skim milk and used the gravy over whole grain rice. Didn't take much to make this childhood favorite more health friendly while keeping the flavor. The family loved it. Thanks for the recipe, we will be making this again!
