Filling, but bland
ShavenLlama - January 11, 2008 01:18:16 PM PSTThis recipe was very quick and easy, but rather lacking in flavor. Next time I'm going to use more garlic and brown the garlic before the beef goes in. Also, drain the tomatoes! This came out of the oven really watery. And after you put the cheese on top, stick it under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the cheese.

This Is A Great Recipe!
dezertlady - January 9, 2008 12:58:54 PM PSTFor those concerned about the calorie content, I substituted skim milk, low-fat cheese, left out the grated cheese that comes with the package. I also used Italian green beans instead of peas.
While I'm not exactly sure of the calorie content, it's still a great recipe and can be made low-fat.
(I also did not fry my ground beef in oil. I nuked it until it was done).2 of 3 found this review helpful.
