Reviews
Pretty good. Really good as a chip dip
I used vegan meatballs. Delicious! I was really surprised that the baked beans & Worcestershire sauce went well together. Thanks!
I usually make a recipe as it is before I review, however I made this “Mexican style” like another reviewer suggested, using salsa instead of the tomato sauce and taco seasoning in the meat mixture. I also used baked potato slices that I had on hand, (not a fan of boxed “mashed potatoes”) the dish was delicious! About to make it again for my son who didn’t get any of the first batch. Hits all of my buttons – easy to make, tasty and healthy dish!
my family LUVS THIS. NO LEFTOVERS. I’ve had to double the recipe
When I make this it came out soupy and bland. Would not make this again
It wasn’t bad but, as my 15 year old described it, it was “meh”. All things we like but have never put into one dish before. Seemed like a good idea. Probably wouldn’t make it again.
We loved it!!!!!
I made this as a pantry cleaner,but this is way better than I expected. This is going into weekly rotation
As soon as I saw the ingredients, I know my husband and my 24-year-old son would love it! I was right! I had to change the ingredients a little. I used onion powder in place of onions and left the beans out. I did not have any tomato sauce so are used some traditional spaghetti sauce instead. I also used 8 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese. I don’t cook at all and this was easy enough for me to do! Will definitely make it again and again!
Yummy! I followed the recipe as given, but used homestyle baked beans. Hubby liked it too. Next time I will add a can of corn and garlic. I think I will try chili beans next time.
The family loved it. I think I will use ranch style beans next time as it was a little sweet for me but my family ate it up!
Very good and very filling!
So good. This is one of those weird ones that I normally wouldn’t think to try. But I had extra mashed potatoes, all of the other ingredients, and this recipe had a bunch of great reviews. I browned the meat with the onion, drained, added salt, pepper, and Worcestershire. Subbed BBQ sauce for tomato sauce. I piped the potatoes on instead of spreading for a prettier top. Baked uncovered for 25 mins before adding cheese and finishing bake time.
Very good! there are several variations of this online, usually called “Shipwreck” some use sliced potatoes instead of mashed or add bacon.
my mouth is watering I can’t wait to try it
I’ve made this twice and both times it’s boiled over in the oven. Take it easy on the meat and tomato sauce and leave plenty of room for potato and cheese toppings. I’ve made this as a mexican-style dish as well, substituting refried beans for the beans, mexican rice for the potatoes, salsa for the tomato sauce, and adding chilies and taco seasoning to the meat. It’s good, give it a shot!
Like most others, I was unsure of how this dish would be received. I have kids ranging in age from 10 to 18. They all loved it. I did make a couple changes. I used sloppy joe sauce instead of tomato sauce. I also lined the bottom of the pan with flattened crescent rolls. So, it was almost like an open pot pie. Everyone loved it!! A word of caution: the rolls rise quite a bit, so i may try a pizza dough next time.
At first I wasn’t sure about this recipe, but I had no reason to doubt. We used Bush’s Country style baked beans with sauce. Awesome!!! We added salt, pepper, sauted onion & garlic. Only had a can of tomato soup & that worked great. Loved it & am cooking again. 🙂
I have to be honest here…when I looked at the ingredients all I could think of was “yuk.” BUT, I read the great reviews and needed something relatively quick for dinner, so I tried it. I apologize for anything ‘bad’ I ever thought about this! It’s really, really good! You can’t tell there are beans in it (for those of you who, like me, who “yukked” at that part) and my husband, who’s a little picky but a good sport about ‘new recipes’ loved it, too. (He went back for 3rds that night and took the rest for lunch the next day!). It’s very filling, too. The only changes were that I made my own mashed (garden) potatoes, used the canned sloppy joe sauce instead of the tomato sauce and, being a vegetarian, I used the veggie version of the ground beef. I will make this again, for sure – no “yuks” this time!
YUMMY! This recipe definatly needs something extra to give it flavor. We added BBQ sauce and it made it fabulous! I think that Ranch style beans would be good as well, maybe chili powder. We also added corn and didnt bake it, just piled it up on our plates.
Actually I’d give this at least 3.5 stars, but there isn’t an option to do so. This was quick and easy with pretty much everything already on hand. I’m not giving this any higher though because my family just wasn’t really into it. I’m thinking it’s just them though…as I enjoyed it and they really haven’t raved about any casserole I’ve made. Hmmmm
