For a real meat-and-potatoes meal, try this satisfying layered casserole. It's easy to assemble with lean ground beef and fresh or leftover mashed potatoes. —Carolyn Wolbers of Loveland, Ohio

I love this recipe! I add cheddar instead of parmesan. It's perfect after a day of hunting or fishing in the cold. Hands down in my top 5 favs.

Very good! Love fall comfort food...I used ground chicken and chicken gravy, and a bag of mixed vegetables in place of the pound of carrots.

We made our own gravy instead of using a jar product. We added celery & mushrooms and used season salt instead of regular salt. It turned out great!

Although I've thought about adding other veggies, I have yet to do it. It's a favorite of my family just as it's written!

I liked this recipe- but I used ground turkey instead of ground beef, and I added celery and corn. I also topped it with cheddar cheese instead of the parmesan. My husband loved it!
