    Made this tonight for dinner and it was amazing! I swapped ground beef for ground turkey because it’s what my family prefers but followed everything else. I will make this again and would recommend it to others!

    Tried this tonight, the whole family loved it and had heaping seconds. And my four little ones are so picky, especially about casseroles!

    I had pickles as a topping, but my husband also did hot sauce. So many options to kept it fresh! Thank you so much for such a yummy thrifty recipe.

    This is so good. It's now a family favorite. The first time I tried this I used turkey burger, not having any hamburger. My family loved it. About a month later they asked me to make it again. This time I really had to make substitutions because I was running out of all my staples. The substitutions ended up taking a really good food and taking it next level for my family.

    I have a large family, so I have to double the recipe. I only had 1 pound of hamburger, so I used that and found some breakfast sausage for the other pound of meat needed. Any sausage works here. For the tomato soup, I only had 1 can. Upon searching for anything I could use to substitute the second can needed, I decided upon a can of nacho cheese. Oh my goodness! It's a bit spicy, but not a lot, and so cheesy! My family asks for this every week now.

    What I've found is this recipe is great as is, but it's so easy to personalize it. Thank you!
