I wasn't a huge fan of this recipe. The beef was a bit tough and the sauce was bland. I think I'll try a different Italian beef bake recipe next time.

Yum! This dish was delicious. The beef was cooked perfectly and the cheese was gooey and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This cheesy Italian beef bake was a hit with my family! The flavors were delicious and the beef was so tender. I especially liked the crispy cheese topping. I will definitely be making this again.
