Although it looks tasty, I didn't make it because the carbs, cholesterol and total fat were just too high. Perhaps making it with chicken would help with fat and the cholesterol and the fat, but then there's the carbs. There are very few ingredients to play with ... maybe add some veggies and reduce the amount of pasta would help. I think there are more healthy recipes out there to bother with this one.

Three stars as is. Five with some modification. Looks similar to a dish my Mom used to make when we were kids. We called it MESS. Ground beef, sauteed onions ,peppers, garlic, celery. Can tomatoes instead of pasta sauce. Water, rice or pasta. Season to taste, and add whatever left over veggies are on hand. Mom raised 3 of us in the 60's and had no money. This was a meal we all loved. Cheese was a special extra.

This was a pretty decent, quick supper. I used chicken instead, cooked it in sun dried tomato dressing with onions, salt n pepper. I added corn to the mixture as well for some texture. Used old cheddar on top instead of mozza. Next time I'd probably use half pasta sauce, half salsa or add some peppers for some more flavour.

I loved this recipe. With three little ones running around I love that it`s all cooked in one pot. I did however add some vegetables to the dish to make it a little more nutritious. I will be making this one time and time again I`m sure
