I made this recipe for a party. I didn't add the ground beef because there were vegetarians at the party. I made 2 trays and they were gone before I could even taste it! I am told it was awesome. It was simple to make and I plan on using the recipe again. -
My family is tired of the same old menus - eating in or out. So I found 'zaar. This was the first dish I made. It was wonderful. My husband and I loved it! Definitely will make again.

This was excellent. It has become a family favorite. Thank you -
This was very good. I made a few substitutions..was out of sour cream so used mayonaise instead, sounds gross but it worked, and no egg noodles so I just broke up some lasagna noodles instead. It is very rich and filling, and great for when you want something different and don't want to make a huge pan of lasagna. Also instead of putting the cream cheese mixture in the middle and on top I just put it all in the middle. -
This was really tasty! I didn't have garlic salt so I used garlic powder instead, and I used light cream cheese. Will definitely make this one again. Thanks!

My grandson said it is delicious. My sisterinlaw asked for the recipe. My mother asked for the recipe. My daughterinlaw even complemented my son on it. I tell you these things to let you know that this is a wonderful recipe. I only thing I changed was instead of tomato sauce I used Paul Newman's Sockaroni Pasta Sauce because that's all I had in the cupboard. Every thing else I did as the recipe required. Bravo! -
This was awesome not to mention easy to make. I left out the ground beef as I'm trying to cut down on the amount of meat we eat. My husband loved it; didn't even seem to notice the lack of meat. I did use Ricotta cheese instead of the cream cheese and think next time I'll add black beans for more protein. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks so much. -

I lightened this up by substituting fat free versions of the cream cheese and sour cream. I also used ground turkey instead of the beef and used whole wheat noodles. It was absolutely delicious! Thanks for the great recipe.
