Excellent! The only thing I sometimes add are caramelized onions (I love them and I usually have these on hand. I cook 8-10 lbs and freeze them - Sweet onions are't available all year round). The recipe calls for UNCOOKED beef. It adds moisture and the flavor melds with the other ingredients.After baking at 350 degrees for a over an hour I can't imagine there would be any question about it being cooked.

I have been making this recipe since the book came out. I recently made a quadriple batch for the volleyball team dinner. I thought that there were be leftovers for the rest of the family; however, there weren't, and the girls came back and scraped the pan out. I have had to share this recipe with all of them!

My mom started making this YEARS ago when it was in Quick Cooking. I know make it for my family. It's always a hit. Great meal to freeze ahead and throw in the oven for a quick dinner.

I have made this recipe many times and it is excellent. Follow the recipe as stated. DO NOT cook the shells or beef before assembling. I was nervous this 1st time I made it but it turned out to be great. This is a favorite of ours and we enjoy it often.

Are the shells stuffed with cooked or uncooked ground beef? Pls confirm.

We LOVE this recipe at my house, if you can't make the night before, I have cooked the shells according to package directions, browned the beef, added the beans and everything like the recipe says, and cooked it that way. Much better to do ahead of tme though!

Is this recipe incorrect? It says to combine the "uncooked beef, refried beans, etc...", but I imagine you are really supposed to brown and drain the beef first?

I've been using this Taste of Home recipe since it was first printed about 8 years ago. We love it! A friend of mine asked for the recipe but when she made it, she didn't make it the night before and the noodles were still hard. But if you follow the directions correctly it will come out perfect every time! I double it up when we have friends coming over. Takes the stress out of running around and trying to cook at the last minute.
