This was a great weeknight meal. It looked like the recipe would benefit from some additional seasonings, so I added garlic powder, pepper, and Italian seasoning to the meat mixture. Added salt and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Divided it into 2 dishes. Used more than 1/2 c milk, but that could be related to the size of potatoes used. Thanks for sharing. -
Made for Fall 09 My 3 Chefs. I am giving this 4 stars, but did not make this exactly per the recipe. I am unable to eat tomato product without paying dearly for it, so used a alfredo instead. This could have altered the end product considerably, but I did find it bland and tastless with the alfredo sauce. I only wish I could have used the tomato as I am sure it would have been delicous that way.
