"A good comfort casserole, all-in-one meal, that can easily be made ahead. The last time I made this, I used minced pork, instead of beef (hamburger). You could substitute yoghurt for the sour cream. From The Australian Family Circle Best Seller Series, Favourite Minced Meat recipes. I've had this book since the children were babies, always my favourite fall-back when I need to feed a houseful of young people!"

Very good meatball dish. I made as was, except for using cream of chicken soup because I didn't have the mushroom soup. Will make again. Made for Make My Recipe.

What a yummy comfort dish. I used some green pepper in place of the onion and I think it was a nice addition. Not difficult to make and it really hits the spot. We had dinner in the living room watching tv and somehow this seemed the perfect choice for such a casual meal. It's warming, hearty and just plain good.
