My family didn't like this recipe. They said it tasted like stew with cheese.

Very good; great comfort food and it is relatively healthy (I didn't like not being able to drain the ground beef). Will definitely make it again! Next time will increase the amount of tomato sauce or add a bit (1/2 cup perhaps) of water. The beef layer was a bit dry. Other than the Velveeta, a fairly inexpensive recipe that uses a lot of staples we have around the house. Thanks for the recipe!!

This was good, my son liked it, but next time I will try mixing the tomato sauce and Velveeta with a can of cream soup, either mushroom or chicken, and pouring it over the meat and vegetables.
