    Very Good
    I didn't have breadcrumbs, so I pureed the rest of the can of tomatoes and put that on top. It looked pretty and tasted great. - 6/12/10

    My mom use to make this for me and I haven't had it since childhood. Just smelling it cook brought back memories! It was sooooooooo good!! Instead of ground beef I used ground turkey and I also added some mozerella to the top before putting it in the oven. Delicious!! - 4/12/10
