"My daughter adores this recipe. She often requests it be prepared when her friends are coming over. I sometimes add pepperoni slices on top of the cheese and mushrooms in the meat mixture."

Michelle, my kids loved this. I did make a few slight additions. I used 1 t. minced garlic, 1 t. dried oregano, and added salt and pepper to the meat mixture. I think next time I will do as you suggested and add pepperoni and mushrooms. This made a great weeknight easy to make meal Thanks. -
Boy did the kids like this!!I didnt have a jar of spagetti sauce so I used a can of diced tomatoes and a 2 small jars of tomato sauce and just a little pizza spice.This was a satisfying meal that will be had again!Thanks Michelle! -
This was pretty good. I needed something quick and easy for company that was coming over for dinner and they dont like any type of meat besides ground beef. So this is what I made, and the loved it. My son kept calling it Cheeza, and wanted 3rds!!! Thanks for a good quick meal! -
I made this last night for my kids and they all went nuts. They ate every last bit of it!!! I guess that would mean that they liked it. My dd#1 wants it on a weekly basis. This was a real winner in my house...Thanks Michelle!!!! -

EXCELLENT! It wasn't stated what size spaghetti sauce to use, so I used 14 oz., was really glad I didn't use one larger. Got distracted w/my DS's and used mozzarella instead of parmesan. Had great results it cut and was served 'cleanly' not at all soupy. It was just a little to mild for my taste so added crushed red pepper for my DH and DS's nothing extra added and they loved it. Thank You-Michelle S.!

Michelle, according to my son, this was two thumbs up, and totally awesome! I made this dish yesterday for my son to take home with him. I used half ground beef and half ground veal, added some mushroom and way more garlic than called for, also a couple of tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. I added some hot pepper sauce to the ground beef mixture also. For the popover batter I added 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, and made it with half and half cream instead of milk. This is a great casserole and very versatile. I'll be making this again. Thanks for sharing....Kittencal:) -
YUMMMMMMMY! What a great quick and easy dish. Instead of ground beef I used spicy turkey sausage. I will omit the pepper next time, a little too over powering. I separately sauteed the onion with some chopped mushrooms and then added that combo to the meat mixture. I also mixed in some turkey pepperoni, as well. Absolutley fantastic and the little bit of leftovers that made it to the next day were even better! -
This was pretty good! I used reduced fat italian sausage instead of the hamburger. My DH and I both agreed that it was too salty. I think next time I will skip the salt in the batter, and look for a low sodium pizza sauce.

Really good. My teenagers particularly enjoyed this. I used Italian sausage instead of beef and added a little pepperoni I had. The topping is excellent.
