Not only were the servings off but this was so dry. I made half the recipe and it would have served at least 8. To the leftovers of half I added one 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes with basil, etc. plus 8 ounces of tomato sauce. May have salvaged it but now I have to add a lot more cheese.

For some reason I was craving beef and macaroni tonight. I searched the web and found this little recipe from the Deen family. Everybody loves the Deens. And yes, at first I was scared of how unhealthy it would be but to the hell with it. It turned out really well but I did have to make some changes because it did come out a bit bland as some of the previous reviewers described. Adding more salt and pepper didn't really help either. First, I used 1 lb of ground beef and 1 lb of sweet Italian sausauge. Then I adjusted the seasonings to 1 1/2 tsp each of basil, oregano and cumin. I added 1/2 tsp chili powder (yeah the stuff you use to make chili with and 1/4 tsp smoked paprika. This kicked up the flavor and made it taste perfect. I like flavorful food from all parts of the world so this is what worked with me and my family's tastebuds. But yeah, it definitely needs a bit more spice. I'll definitely be making this again with my revisions. Good luck! And thank you Paula Deen!

Decided to make this casserole, of course I had to make it my own way. I had only two cans of diced tomatoes and a can of diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions. I cooked the noodles as directed, after completion I buttered noodles and set aside. After browning and seasoning the ground meat I added the three cans of tomatoes and let it simmer for twenty minutes. I poured half the noodle beef mixture in the dish, then added 1c of cheddar cheese and 1c of mozzarella cheese. I continued the process. That's my take on this dish, get a recipe use some steps and create your own to fulfill your taste buds.

This easy to make and delicious meal was a hit with my family. I did alter it by add in an eight ounce package of sharp cheddar cheese when mixing the beef and macaroni. Then I added another eight ounce package of Mexican mix cheese. I'm especially glad I mixed in the cheddar because it gave the mixture a flavor boost. I will definitely make this again. The next time I will also add more tomatoes.

My mother made a version of this when I was growing up. So, after many years I adapted it for my own family. We tried this version las night for the first time and I had my family comment. My wife liked my version much better and my son liked this one better. I prefer my own. My has more flavor while this turned out kind of bland even though I spiced it a bit more than the original recipe calls for. I have some ideas about how it change to make it better and will do so next time. If it works out, I'll update the review.

This is one of my husband's favorites! His mother used to make 'goulash' when he was a kid, which is very similar, but he said mine is better! As most everyone says, I use more of all the spices, and make sure to season everything with s&p as you are browning. So easy. And it freezes great. I always make the whole recipe and freeze half for another meal. Just defrost and heat.
