Ground beef, tomato and a tasty cream cheese sauce come together in this hot, hearty casserole. I recently took it to a banquet, and recipe requests came from every table.

This is delicious. I cheated a little bit (to only use one pan) cooked the noodles, drained and rinsed, then used the same saucepan for the meat mixture; put meat into the baking dish, then rinsed out the pan and used it to cook the cheese mixture; put the noodle/cheese on top of the meat. Ended up with only one layer of each, but presentation was good and cleanup was easy. Oh, and I only used a tiny sprinkle of sugar in the meat and none in the cheese. Excellent!

Much better than a plain old casserole! We loved the cream cheese and the arrangement of mixtures. Very good flavors, I will definitely make again!

Even though this takes two pans and a pyrex casserole, it is not difficult to make and the result was delicious.

I omitted the green peppers, and this was excellent, definitely a keeper that should be tried.There are two distinct flavors that come together wonderfully.

I really enjoyed this recipe. The combination of the cream cheese sauce and the tomato sauce is really spectacular. The only downside to the recipe is that you have to use a lot of dishes to bring the whole thing together - that's the only reason I gave it 4 stars. Lots of cleaning up afterward, but totally worth it! And even though you do have to use a lot of dishes, it really isn't a difficult recipe at all.

Most people on restricted diets can judge how to adjust for their diets, such as using light or no fat cream cheese (or Neufchatel) for the cream cheese, using a sugar substitute for the sugar, omitting salt, etc. I know I certainly couldn't give nutritional info on any of my recipes, but I can surely make appropriate adjustments to someone else's to fit my needs.

Alternate side by side(in rows) , not layers.

Reviewed on Feb. 23, 2009 by lady28

I believe that the recipe says to alternate them in rows and that is why the picture looks that way. It sounds good to me.
