Good and easy but needs more seasoning to make it pop. I added some of my personal seasoning blend which added just a bit of heat and also some oregano. Add some leftover veggies like green beans or some frozen mixed veggies. Dont skimp on the cheese.

Very easy and very good. The only change I made was to add some garlic powder to the meat. Will make it again.

Not great, too soupy, must cook meat and drain completely before adding to onion mix, I added vegetables but still found it bland and the consistency off putting.

We were amazed that something this easy could be this good. Had it Monday and my son is asking for it again! This will be one of my "go to" recipes when I am too busy to cook and I am going to make a couple and put them in the freezer. Thanks Mr. Food Kitchen!

You can substitute ground turkey and turkey gravy or even left over turkey (after the holidays). I throw in a few sliced mushrooms as well.
