Really good! All the basic ingredients for a filling and delicious meal. Probably will make and tweak again for family meals.
Substituted this recipe with Coleslaw dressing just as good I ran out of Mayo so this was my best alternative
This was delicious! I have to admit that the picture which is showed with this recipe doesn’t do it any justice, and I almost passed it by, but after reading the ingredient list, I decided to give it a try. So glad I did! I didn’t tweak the recipe other than adding a little extra cheese and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning while browning the ground beef, though I do believe I should have increased the macaroni to almost twice as much as called for. Either way, Its a keeper!
My 11 yo daughter went crazy over this. All night she was saying ‘that was awesome.’ Added italian seasonings, salt, pepper. Will make again I’ll probably try it with sour cream
Hearty dish for the guys building the pole barn! Added some crushed garlic and oregano to add a little spice, and I will probably use a bit less mayo next time. Otherwise, it is a keeper!
I was struggling to make something for dinner with next to no ingredients in the house before grocery shopping day, this meal was perfect. The only thing I changed was instead of mayo (which sounded just a little too odd for me to get over), I used sour cream some others had suggested. I don’t know what it tastes like with mayo, but the sour cream was extremely good and I am more than critical of my own cooking.
I had high hopes for this easy ground beef dish, but none of my kids would eat it, and they’re not picky. I wasted a perfectly good pound of organic beef.
This was a really fast and easy meal! Just what I was looking for to use up the last of my ground beef. Was really tasty! I doubled the recipe and I did add some extra seasoning as suggested: onion powder, garlic salt and italian seasoning. The taste of the mayo was delish! Family loved it!
my whole family loved this thanks for sharing this. my husband has been a chef for 15yrs and he was impressed.
I rarely post a review, but this recipe was so disgusting I had to say something. The mayo is a VERY strong flavor in this, and I enjoy the taste of mayo. It was also very much unnecessary. I doubled the macaroni and added cheese on top, and thank goodness I did or I don’t think I would have been able to choke this down. I will never make this again. Simply changing the mayo to low fat sour cream would have improved this recipe immensely.
This is a simple recipe. I used less mayo since I had bought an off brand. I think if your gonna use the mayo you need to buy the good stuff because you can definitely taste it. Plus im on a diet so the calories of adding it weren’t necessary. Overall not bad. Something to do if you have kids and are in a hurry.
My kids loved this recipe. That is quite an accomplishment for both of them to rate something 5 stars. After converting the macaroni from ounces to cups, 1/2 of a cup did not seem like a lot. I decided to add 1 cup of macaroni instead. I also added fresh garlic and Italian seasoning. My youngest son actually licked his plate clean. (They did not know that mayo was in the sauce which they have stated they hate.) I did add only a half an onion (another deal breaker with the kids.) Thanks for a quick, easy and tasty meal!!
It’s good. I think i’ll try using Sour Cream instead of mayo just to try something new. If I do that, i’ll also use the mexican cheese suggestion made by others.
It was ok. My kids liked it. My husband said it tasted like Hamburger Helper.
This is one of those recipies that you will love or hate. You can tell when you read the reviews. My daughter and I loved it and my husband hated it.
Very disappointed. Mayo made it taste horrible.
I likede this recipe pretty well, the mayo really gave it a different kind of taste. My 2 year old ate it like crazy!!
This recipe is good, but more for kids. I wouldn’t say it is much different from normal goulash. I used veggie crumbles and it still worked fine.
There would be no way for anyone to complain about this! It is really good. Everyone like it– a great dish, and the best part- it could not get any quicker or easier!
Added extra macaroni and spices. Used a mexican cheese blend that I had on hand. My kids (2 & 4) are picky eaters and I heard “a-licious” and “this is yummy” from them.
This recipe is quick, ingredients easily found, and a MUST for cheese lovers and moms. I’ll do this one again.
