This casserole was simple and easy but unlike many casseroles that are simple, the ingredients combine very well for a flavorful dish. I made two changes to the recipe adding two minced cloves of garlic rather than garlic salt and 2 teaspoons of Spike (mixture of herbs and spices). The dish had a beautiful reddish color with the noodles and ground beef poking through the orange cheddar cheese. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Very Tasty and Easy!!!!! Perfect dish for a busy day, as it is very quick to make. I added about 3 tablespoons of Italian Seasonings for added flavor and it was perfect. Thanks for posting!!!!

I agree with the above posts. But I feel this is a great casserole "base" that you have to add your own spices to. I added a lot of chili powder, italian seasoning, and salt. If you follow the recipe verbatim, it tastes like canned tomatoes, corn, and pasta; that's NOT bad, just tweak it with your favorite seasoning and this is a GREAT dish that even my picky eaters loved. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was a great base recipe, all of the family really liked it, even my picky 10 yr old son I made a couple changes, just personal preferences. I added a good dose of Italian seasoning, Emeril seasoning, and used both fresh garlic and garlic powder. and skipped the corn I put all of the spices in with the meat and onions, placed it all in a bowl when it was done cooking, and used the same pot to boil the noodles. I cooked the noodles until tender, drained the water out, then -re-added the meat mixture back into the pot and cooked it for another few minutes, giving the flavors time to "meld" together. I added in all of the cheese, mixed it around, and cooked for anther few minutes and served it right up! So the entire dish was made on the stove top, I skipped the oven all together.

This was very good.. I used just the ingredients listed and I did think the tomato soup was the prime flavor... I'll make it again and flavor up the soup a little or perhaps try a mix of soup and tomato sauce. Thanks for a quick and tasty recipe.

A very good recipe! I did like the others above added a few things. I dont measure exactly..I put a few shakes of italian seasoning and season salt. I had a jar of minced garlic so i put 1/2 tsp of that in too instead of the garlic salt. My one son does not like melted cheese so I did not mix alot in the dish and put some on half of the top. I used the very diced tomatoes too. It made a 13x9 pan ...lots of left overs thanks for the recipe

I'm updating my rating on this one...last time I guess I didn't like it much, but this time I thought it was amazing. Very delish and I had 2nds and didn't want the dh to take the rest to work the next morning!!!! I used seashell pasta (the big ones) and then added parmesan-reggiano to the top. Spectacular. Thanks so much!

We found this to be surprisingly good. I did make a few changes after reading some of the reviews--I omitted corn just because my husband turned his nose up when I told him it was in it. I added lots of Italian Seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder to the meat mixture ( I couldn't tell you how much other than a lot since I just added and tasted as I went). I also used a can of Tomato Bisque soup instead of regular tomato just for a little added flavor. Sprinkled with Parmesan cheese before I put it in the casserole dish, then topped with Italian blend of white cheeses. YUMMY! I will be making this again! Thanks for the recipe

This recipe is great! It's quick, easy to make and my 5 year old loves it! I'm going to turn the leftovers into a meat pie. Thanks for sharing!

My family loved this one! Easy and fast to make. I used aged cheddar in the casserole, and a combination of aged cheddar and mozzarella for the topping. Instead of Italian seasoning, I used 4 tablespoons of oregano and one tablespoon of Genovese basil, straight from the garden. Added a bit of garlic powder, and that was it. It made enough for a full meal for three, plus another casserole for the freezer. Thanks for the recipe!
