My sister shared this original recipe, but I adapted it for my family's taste. I like that it's a nutritious meal in one dish, and when my boys were young, it was a good way to disguise vegetables. This is also a good dish for potlucks. -Jo Prusha, Omaha, Nebraska

I'm always looking for new casserole recipes, so I was excited to try this one. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The instructions were unclear and the casserole didn't turn out well.

I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The flavors were bland and it was a bit dry.
