My family loved this recipie! I was informed that I had to make this again. I think next time I might use some pizza sauce instead of tomato paste and Italian sausage instead of pork to add some more flavor. Yum! -
The first time I make this I was in high school (1976). It became one of my dad's favorites. He was a meat, potatoe and bread guy and he did not like cassaroles but he LOVED this. Lost my recipe, so glad I find this again. The sesame seeds on the top make the dish, I have made with and without. I have also made without sausage and doubled the ground beef. I can not wait to make tonight for the hubby. -
I made this recipe last night and was amazed at how easy it was. Took me about 15 minutes to put it all together and then the 25 minutes in the oven. I accidentally added too much basil (I think I put a tablespoon in!) and it still came out tasting great. One warning if you are a two-person household: It produced a TON of leftovers (you get 6 huge slices, easy) so for me and DH, I'm not sure we're going to finish it all... -
This is a wonderful recipe! My husband found it in an old church cookbook before we were married and he made it for me for a special dinner. It has become his specialty and a family favorite. Thanks for posting it! -
Very good and easy to make. I would definatly add italian sausage for more flavor next time. Will definatly make this again.

We live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I am an office manager and my DH and I love riding on our Harley! I love to cook and have a large family. I enjoy my family, fellowship with good friends, crocheting, crafts, reading, our Harley! Just getting involved in a new church and looking to what we will be doing there in service. Oh, gosh, if I had month off, I think we would tootle around this great country of ours on our Harley. Never seen the Grand Canyon and would love that... hmmm, wonder who will pay for that!? LOL I love the Taste of Home magazine and my favorite cookbook is Best of Friends, Etc and Best of Friends, Too. Great ones! Along with my dozens of church cookbooks!
