This sounds delicious. Pasta dishes are my favorite so Im always excited when I find new recipes for them. To make a healthier version of this casserole, a few minor modifications could be made. Instead of cooking some of the ingredients in the fat and juices from the ground beef, they could be sauted using olive or canola oil. Also, low sodium beef broth, lite sour cream, and low-fat mozzarella cheese could be used as substitutions.

There is something wrong with the quantity of noodles. 1 pound is way too many. Even 1/2 pound is a lot. We used half of the noodles and it was still too dry so the next day we added an equal amount of the sauce and stirred it together. We think it would be better without the cheese which makes it a solid mass. Very good taste though.

Thanks for the tip! We made this in our test kitchen, and it turned out fine, but we understand not everyone has the same experience in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing your experience we're sure others will find this helpful. -Editor, RecipeLion

I agree. My rule of thumb is 1 pound of meat for every 1/2 pound of pasta.
