  1. this was very nice and eay to make, but we felt it needed aome spice. we added extra pepper, red pepper flakes and salt i will try this one again
     
  2. Not bad. Felt it lacked a bit of flavour so next time will add some herbs/spices to lift it. Otherwise a great recipe and one I will surely use again and again.
     
  3. This was such a simple dish to make. After reading the reviews I decided to add a couple of tsp of mixed herbs and smoked paprika. I also added panco breadcrumbs with some Colby cheese instead of parmesan. Super delicious!
     
  4. I was abit skeptical how it would turn out. I zinged it up a bit by adding a cube of knorr cube to the mince meat, used skimmed milk and cheddar cheese instead. It was superbe!
     
  5. This was a tasty casserole, and everyone thought it was yummy! It was very similar to Greek Pastitsio. I doubled the recipe, and layered it in a 13" x 9" x 2" baking pan. (It filled the pan, but didn't overflow while baking.) Even with doubling the recipe, I didn't need to increase the cooking time. This was a hit, Evie! Thanks!
