This recipe is an insult to cooking. I'm surprised that anyone would even post it online.

I would give this recipe zero stars if I could. It was the worst casserole I've ever had.

This recipe is a joke. It's so poorly written that I couldn't even follow it.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out terrible. It was nothing like the picture in the recipe.

This casserole was a disaster! It was so runny and the noodles were mushy. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I was disappointed with this casserole. It was very dry and the flavors didn't really blend together. I won't be making it again.

I found this casserole to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This casserole was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

I wasn't sure about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! It was surprisingly delicious. The ham and cheese were a great combination and the egg noodles were cooked perfectly.
