We didn't think that this dish was actually going to be any good. It turned out okay and my brother loved it. It tastes very much like a cheeseburger and a little to much like one for my taste. Still, will still make this again.

I have made this recipe several times and my family loves it!!! It's noting fancy but it's easy and flavorful (the relish, I feel, really makes this dish)!!! I too add a little bit more relish when I make this...

PS: I didn't have steak seasoning on hand, so I just used regular steak sauce.
Great! I changed a couple of things to give it more flavor. Instead of just diced tomatoes, I used diced tomatoes with green chilies. I also added a little more salt and a couple more tablespoons ketchup!

My substitutes (because it's what I had on hand): elbow macaroni and 1 T Worcesterchire Sauce instead of steak sauce). My changes: 2 cups of pasta, 1/2 onion and 2/3 c. Costco bacon pieces and 3 T dill relish. Results: two picky kids (4 and 7) who ate their whole meal and a husband who said to put the recipe on our "do again" list. This was great and is bound to become a family classic for us.

My picky 3 yr old loves this! I make it often she eats it up every time! I use 100% whole wheat pasta to try and boost the fiber.

i saw this on my mom's desk over thanksgiving and knew we had to try it. finally worked tonight to make it. i just used regular elbow mac as that is what i had on hand. i also didnt use the seasoning mentioned. i went ahead and doubled it hoping it turned out good so leftovers could be had over the weekend. it definitely tasted like a cheeseburger. i think it could use more condiments though to really make it pop. i like the no salt added tomatoes to keep the salt from being overbearing. will make again, but mayb with some tweaks. had some bites that were kinda blah and some that were delish.

Not a big hit at our house. Made as per recipe, with GF Penne. Easy, but just average for us, sorry. But it did taste like a cheeseburger.

Didn't add the relish or onion, but a little more mustard & ketchup. Love the flavor!
