I followed the directions exactly. Tasted it before it went in and no flavor – really bland. I tried to fix it up with some Rotel and taco seasoning and it was still so bad I didn’t even eat it. And 10 minute prep was closer to 40 minutes. Total waste of time, energy and food.

Just what I was looking for. I had all the puzzle pieces in the fridge and pantry. This made it all fit. I added about 8oz of tomato sauce I had leftover from stuffed peppers the night before.
Your style of cooking is right up my alley and speaks to my heart! Thank you for all the lovely recipes !
Yvonne
Becky – thank YOU for the kind words! I hope to see you around often!
Christie Wilburn
This dish was absolutely wonderful, only thing I did differently was a cut up bell pepper in with the onion. My family really enjoyed this meal. Thank you!
Yvonne
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment letting me know that you liked it Christie! I LOVE bell pepper, so that sounds like a great addition.
Judy

With all the condensed soups, it sounds like it would be very salty . Do you have any suggestions to reduce the sodium in this dish?
Bill
do you add water with the cream of mushroom soup?

This was a life saver and has become a family favorite! I did not have all of the ingredients when I made it. I used a 14.5 oz can of Hunt’s diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano. I browned the ground beef with salt, pepper, chilo powder, diced onion and a 1/2 of a havasu pepper. I had less than a 1/4 cup of mixed cheese that I mixed in with cream of mushroom, tomatoes and I added another 1/4 cup of mozzarella, more salt, pepper and chili powder. Then covered and put in oven as instrcute and topped with mozzarella last 15 min. Oh my, my husband and son love it! If I don’t hide some to take to lunch thr next day there wouldn’t be any! Thank you so much for this recipe! For a family on the go this is great! Quick fix and makes a lot. I have a 15 yr. Old son who plays football and wrestling, two scoops of this and he’s full!!!

When using condensed soup do you pore it straight from the tin or do you add a tin of water as well?
Janice
Hey Yvonne what if U don’t have cream of mushroom, would it still taste good without it?
Elaine Banman
I haven’t tried the recipe yet, but it reminded me of a recipe I made in Home Ec in the 60’s. The teacher called it Baked Hungarian Goulash. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for posting this.
Tam
Trying this tonight…. You cook the noodles first? How big of a box?
Yvonne
Yes, you will want to cook the noodles first. Any size box should work as long as it yields at least 1 1/2 c. of uncooked noodles!

Yvonne, Thank you so much for posting this recipe. It was so easy to make and the ingredients made for a perfect dinner. My 14yo son ate half in one sitting. I used ground turkey and shredded my own cheddar block. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe and I can’t wait for more of your ideas!
Yvonne
You’re welcome – fresh shredded cheese is ALWAYS better – YUM!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Dee
Last nite I made this….but, I warmed tortillas in Microwave, then placed in muffin tins. Added mixture. Top with what ever you like, me, salsa, sour crème, green onions, hot peppers.. Awesum Sauce!..Thank you for recipe
Yvonne
What a great idea!
Susan Macfarlane
Were we supposed to cover it to bake?
Angela Pallikan
I did not cover mine
Robin
Making this tonight, can’t wait to try!!! Looks Delish!!! Thanks for sharing!

Yvonne
Oooh, sounds like a good substitute – hope you like it! Enjoy :)
Angela Pallikan
I did enjoy it!

I hate to be a party pooper but my family found it “blah” at best. My husband finished a small bowl (he was starving) but declined seconds because it “wasn’t worth the calories.” My teenager tried a few bites, grabbed her keys and headed to Taco Bell. Maybe if I’d added the Rotel! Still glad I gave it a shot!! Can’t win them all!
Yvonne
I actually really appreciate you comment. I guess it goes to show that you can’t win them all. Sorry you had a bad experience, so many people have loved this recipe – I’m sorry that you didn’t as well. Thanks for letting me know :)

I am doing this tonight for dinner, sounds so good and easy. i will let you know how it turned out. I do not have any cheese to grate over it, but will try can of nacho’s cheese in the can because that is all I have. Cross your fingers it will be amazing…
Yvonne
Oooh nacho cheese? How could that NOT be amazing? Hope it was good!
Patsy
Made this and a skillet of cornbread tonight. Perfect for an easy Saturday night supper! We really enjoyed it. I also added a can of Rotel for a little punch. I liked that it was nice and saucy! This is an easy and economical meal. Thanks so much!!
Yvonne
Thank you for your comment – I’m so happy you liked it!
