"I love this recipe because it makes a lot—two hearty casseroles. Every time I fix it, I add something different, such as extra garlic, to give it a little extra flavor." —Debra Butcher Decatur, Indiana

Delicious! I made this into 4 smaller casseroles and popped 3 in the freezer. I also used whole grain penne pasta.

Very good but very high in saturated fat.

OMG! 1825 mg of Sodium per serving! The RDA is 2000 mg, so one serving of this casserole is most of the RDA for a normal person . . . for those who, like me, are salt-sensitive it's MORE than I eat in a whole day! If I ate this I would gain 10 lbs. overnight! NOBODY needs this much salt!Susan Tully, MD

Thank you very much for sharing this. My whole family loved it, even the picky eaters. Takes awhile to prepare but worth it. Will make a good pot luck item for holiday season.

Use turkey sausage instead of beef, low fat swize cheese and 1/2 de pepperoni over whole wheat pasta. Not so guilty now!
