"This is an old fashioned comfort food enjoyed by both adults and children. A family favourite at our house especially on weekends. A real crowd pleaser at Potlucks, one of the first to empty and makes for recipe requests. Found this golden oldie at our Curling Bonspiel windup years back, it has gone to many a potluck since. Great served with a green salad and crusty buns. Posted is the original recipe, for variety or if you prefer it a little spicier you may add seasonings of your choice."

This was a very tasty dinner for us, I used macaroni pasta and added in a good pinch of garlic powder to the ground beef I only had 1 pound of ground beef so I used half beef and half ground turkey, I used semi-drained diced tomatoes, great recipe and one I will be making again, thanks Gerry

I made this for the hubby...so I cut the recipe in half...thinking there would be some leftovers...well half of the recipe made at least 5 servings...and that's with hubby going back for seconds...he loved it...I used the tomato soup option...and made homemade bread cubes...they added a really nice crunch...btw...the ingredients for half the recipe barely fit into a 1.5 quart casserole dish...made for "Bill Board" tag game...

Gerry this casserole was right up our alley and enjoyed a lot. I used ground round, petite diced tomatoes, 2 small cans of garlic flavored tomato sauce, Panko for the breadcrumbs and penne pasta. Bought a crusty loaf of bread and we were eating good! Made during the middle of the week and then rewarmed with more cheese on the weekend. Might try blending cottage cheese together well and adding a layer or that and see how it would turn out. Thank for posting a keeper! Made and reviewed for the Billboard Recipe Tag Game.

Comfort food at its best! I cut the recipe down to make 4 servings. The 2 tbsp. oil was omitted since I find ground beef doesn't stick when I brown it and I omitted the sugar since I used the tomato soup option. I'll be making this again. It's exactly the type of meal DH loves best.
