I rated this as one star instead of the 2 stars it deserves so unsuspecting people who want to make a classic baked ziti won't be fooled by this recipe's high rating. This is NOT an authentic Italian baked ziti. While the sour cream is thinner and creamier, it lends a sourer taste than the sweet cream of ricotta. It is more like a stroganoff flavor rather than a classic Italian one.

I have tried this recipe twice... once as written, and once with the addition of more seasonings. As written, I have to rate it as 4 stars. It is a good base, but the lack of seasonings leaves the meat sauce extremely bland, in my humble opinion. When I tweaked the recipe, I added minced garlic, Lawry's seasoning salt, garlic & onion powder, Italian seasonings, sage, & a dash of cayenne pepper. Much more flavorful the second go-round! Still a great go-to recipe though.

So I have been making another baked ziti recipe that I wasn't the biggest fan of until tonight. While at the grocery store I found this recipe on my cell phone through an app for a different website and decided to try it. So glad I did. This was delicious. Made it almost exactly the same except added minced garlic to the mean and onion while it browned and increased the cheese a lot since we LOVE cheese. Great flavor and so tasty.

Just got done eating. Wow! Delicious, indeed. I added 2 things not on recipe. Added fresh garlic to ground beef and onions while cooking and approx 1 lb fresh mushrooms, in big chunks to the sauce while it cooked. Scrumptious! Will make this for guests next time. Tried it out on hubby and myself and 2 thumbs up from us both. Thanks for sharing Connie!
