I really enjoyed the layered flavours in this- you get all the taste of a lasagna without the calories! Thanks to the suggestion of another reviewer, I also added chopped onion and minced garlic which really boosted the flavour. Thanks for another great recipe 2Bleu!

A really tasty and easy to make recipe. I used low fat cream cheese, cottage cheese and sour cream (none of which I find compromise flavour) but regular cheddar cheese. I loathe low-fat or reduced fat cheeses, which I find flavourless and would prefer to omit the cheese than to use them. While browning the beef, I added garlic and onion, both finely minced, and then added 2 cups of finely sliced mushrooms and some thyme. YUM! Easy to follow instructions and with the modifications made to suit our taste preferences, certainly a recipe I'll happily make again. Thanks for sharing it. Made for PRMR.

Cheesey, creamy and yummy! I made this as written, but just added chopped onions to the beef as I browned it. I used reduced-fat sour cream and cream cheese with wonderful results. This would be great for potlucks because it's pretty much sure to please everyone. Thanx for sharing this great recipe!

This is a yummy casserole. It's almost like lasagna but a lot easier to make. It is creamy, rich and the flavors blend together so well. I was afraid the cream cheese would be too overpowering, but it wasn't at all. It just added to the creaminess. However, I did only use 8 ounces of cream cheese because that's all I had on hand. My family enjoyed this meal, especially my 13 -year-old son! I admit I only had a very small amount because it's so high in fat and I'm trying to watch that. I could probably make a low-fat version, but I'm not real crazy about the taste of fat-free sour cream and cream cheese in recipes. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!
