I liked this casserole and the blend of flavors, and a little was very filling. But, I prefer spicy food, so I would add hot sauce or some extra seasoning.

I thought this casserole was a little bland, but I think it'd be the perfect dinner for kids that are picky eaters. It was very filling and the hamburger meat, cheese, and pasta was a nice mix.
