Very good! I added some garlic with the onion and ground beef, too. Also added shredded sharp cheddar on top.
This is a really good recipe. Made it for friends that came for dinner & they loved it. Will be making this again
This was very good! I used a green bell pepper, since that's what I had on hand and used fresh minced garlic instead of garlic salt. I also added some frozen peas and carrots along with the corn, and sprinkled sharp grated cheddar on top of the potatoes. Used kosher salt to taste. This a dish I will definitely make again!Volunteer Field Editor
Absolutely delicious comfort food on a cold winters night. Followed recipe exact but cut recipe in half as only two of us. Leftovers were just as good, if not better. Definitely a keeper! Thank you Valerie
I substituted Greek plain yogurt for the sour cream & also 1 lb of ground beef and 1 pound of ground turkey. Added 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots. Sprinkled top with parsley and Parmesan cheese. As other reviewer stated 1 T of worceshire sauce. Delish!!
I would recommend using less milk so that it does not become so soupy. The milk did not help thicken the soup. I even added additional vegetables like peas and carrots.
Loved it and so did my familyThank you for this recipe
Great recipe! I made this for a small group study at church and it was almost gone before we knew it! They all loved it and went back for seconds and even thirds. I did tweak it a bit. I didn't have onions on hand so I substituted about a 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder and mixed that into the chopped meat. I omitted the red pepper and the can of corn and used a can of mixed vegetables instead. However, the recipe says this feeds 8-10. I would say that one batch would probably feed more like 4 people. I had to double it and I'm glad I did. I will definitely make this again!
Received several compliments at our senior apartment potluck. Have fixed this easy recipe several times. Added 1 T Worcestershire Sauce, 1 C frozen peas, 1 C or three diced carrots. Do not add corn.
It wasn't terrible, It just TERRIBLY lacked flavor. It was very bland. Like eating unflavored ground beef with unflavored mashed potatoes and unflavored vegetables. I even added fresh garlic and mushrooms, but it helped nothing. I will not make this again. Waste of money for the ingredients. We wasted half the 9X13" pie.
