I modified this for our budget and it came out perfectly. The first time I made it with regular old hamburger, cheap spaghetti sauce, and shredded cheddar and then followed your instructions. The second time I just made on it on the stove top. Both came out perfectly. Thank you for sharing.

    according to the BF, quick and easy means boring and unimaginative, LOL...He said he'll try this one again ONLY if I tweak it because he prefers my style of cooking, LOL...The 2 stars is the BF's rating, personally I'd have refrained from leaving a rating, but he insisted

    This made and easy and delicious dinner for us the other night. I used the same exact spaghetti sauce and we really liked it. My family didn't even know there was lowfat mozzarella in it. A definite keeper.
