    Very Good
    When I first tried this I thought it was bland but I made it a second time and browned the meat first and made it in advance and refrigerated it over night and that made all the difference. How delicious! My family loves this! - 12/3/09

    Bad
    I personally did not enjoy this at all and I cooked everything to the "T". Maybe cooking the nnodles and meat before stuffing them would be better...and some extra flavor as I found this to be very flavorless with bad texture. Who knows, maybe I did do something wrong. - 11/18/09

    Thank you for this feedback. When I make this, I usually pre-make everything and refrigerate it overnight, then bake it the next day. I think that makes a difference in the flavors soaking in and the noodles softening up. So I've updated the recipe to reflect that. Maybe that will help.
