Mrs. Geraldine's Ground Beef Casserole

After all the rave reviews, I expected this dish to be over the top good. While we certainly found it to be a filling hearty meal, it was nothing to write home about. So unfortunately, for the amount of time it takes to make, we won't be making this again. There are too many other faster and more interesting recipes out there. Sorry!

My husband said that this is his new favorite meal! I followed the recipe with the exception of the mushrooms and bell peppers for the kids.

Now I know what all the fuss is about! This is total comfort food. My DH inhaled 2 large plate fulls and I was ordered to amke this again. I read all the reviews and from them I took this with me before preparing it. I broke the pasta into thirds before cooking them. I used brown sugar instead of pickle juice. I left out the mushrooms (so the kids would eat it) and after I had all but the cheese layered, I took a spatula and gently went into the noodles so some sauce would seep down. The results were fantastic! Another must try Zaar recipe!

Thank you Jellyqueen and Mrs. Geraldine! This was a wonderful casserole. I used a bit more ground beef.. probably about a pound and a half. Also, I didn't have any angel hair pasta so I used spaghetti. My can of tomatoes was 28 ounces, but it all worked out very well. The only other thing I did differently was to add a bit of fresh garlic when I was browning the meat! The end result was absolutely delicious and I'll certainly be making it again!
