This recipe was definitely YUMMERS! I used ground turkey instead of beef and definitely halfed the salt portion. I didn't add seasoning salt, but instead, added some Italian seasoning to the sauce to give it some added flavor! The no-boil noodles worked out extremely well -- my first time! I couldn't believe how easy and delicious this was....lol...my guest had four helpings in one night...lol!!!! Thank you!!! Can't wait to try some other recipes by the Neelys!

This recipe was so quick and easy and super delicious! My family loved it! My husband and kids do not like cottage cheese and they didn't even know it was in there. I added some Italian sausage, extra parsley to the cheese mixture, and some Italian seasoning to the sauce. I will be making this again and again!
