This was great, but tempts to eat too much! Used a seasoned sauce as recommended and was really good.

Very good. I like the suggestion of using a flavored tomato sauce. I think that would add alot.

This is so good! My husband complimented me twice in the same meal so this is going in my recipe box as a keeper! We even liked it reheated the next day. I changed it slightly by using lower-sodium tomato sauce (omitted salt called for), used fat free cream cheese, and used full fat cheddar. I also omitted the onions.

Absolutely Awsome! Used cottage cheese instead of Ricotta. Should have made two batches. It went too fast.

This is a Paul Prudhomme recipe, he adds lime juice, several tablespoons, to the sour cream-green onion mixture.

My husband and I enjoy this recipe! I modified slightly ... I used ground turkey instead of ground beef (my ground turkey already comes in 1.25 lb packages, so it made it easier!), used cottage cheese instead of ricotta, and cut the amount of cream cheese in half (the first time I made it, my husband did not care for the full 8 oz. of sour cream). I think the green onions add a nice flavor to the dish. This recipe tastes great as leftovers too!

This is a new family favorite! I modified it a bit. I used 1 bag of yolk free noodles (it wasn't 5 cups) and half the cream cheese. I also used a little less of the ricotta, too. Make sure to use all the green onions. It helps to keep it from being too bland. Great recipe!
