Both hubby and I enjoyed this comfort dish...I did add some additional seasoning...I threw in some dried basil and oregano...I've been looking for a recipe that I used to make years ago and lost...this came really close...thanks for posting it...=) -
Delicious! We cut it into 12 servings and that serving size was plenty! We also used reduced-fat everything, where possible. This resulted in 528 calories per serving. -
This was a nice casserole and one that would fit to offer at a potluck. I used radiatore pasta instead of egg noodles and added Italian seasoning to the sauce. The casserole is very cheesy and had nice mellow flavors; a classic example of comfort food. My DH loved it! My estimate on servings would be 10-12. I froze half for later. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for PAC Fall '07. -
This is one of my MOST favorite recipes--definitely a KEEPER...printed off and stored in my "Tried & True" recipe binder---wouldn't think of ever getting rid of it! <wink, wink> -
I liked this recipe. It tasted really good. Here is what I did different. I used 2 tsp. garlic salt because we didn't know how much garlic clove to mince. My dad had seconds and took some to work the next day. Thanks Alli-Kat.
