Reviews
Tried this recipe for the first time today. Made a double batch, but only used 1 can of corn. I also added 2 teaspoons of Paprika and 2 teaspoons of Salt. Everybody in my family loved it, and you have my 13 year-old niece’s seal of approval. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I used to make this recipe as written (no corn though) often when my kids still lived at home…now it’s just my husband and me. I did make a couple of changes this time to spice it up a little. Instead of corn, I usually add a can of beans, which I did this time as well. I didn’t have the canned tomatoes so I skipped it, my chunky sauce added plenty of tomato chunks. I also added 1/4 tsp of cayenne powder to give it a little kick…but not too much! My husband liked it so much, he took the leftovers for lunch today and said it was even better on day 2!
This was tasty, but quite spicy. My kids had to have a glass of milk on standby while they were eating it. If I make it again, I would cut the chilli powder down quite a bit for them.
Fast, easy, and tasty. Uses items I keep on hand, too. Good weeknight dinner for when people are starving. Easy clean up, too.
Extremely easy to make and very tasty!
Very yummy. I have made this several times. The only change I have made is that my can of tomatoes is only 10 ounces and I use whatever spaghetti sauce I happen to have on hand. I usually make a pan of cornbread to go with it. It’s the perfect comfort food.
Made this and it was okay. I had to add a little extra pasta sauce because it was a little dry. Also added extra chili powder for flavor and a kick. My daughter loved it though!
This was easy and excellent!
I’ve made this twice and it was a hit with my picky kids both times. Even my husband liked it. Followed directions exactly, except I replaced Ravi with the spaghetti sauce with what we normally use. This is definitely in our new rotation.
I had a alter the recipe quite a bit. I didn’t have spaghetti sauce so I used tomato paste and water. I didn’t have macaroni so I used farfalle. I didn’t have green onion so I fried with the hamburger chopped onions and some green peppers. All in all it came out great!
Quick, easy, and everybody loved it!
Was easy to make very good added mushrooms for my wife. Delicious
I really liked and the family approved as well! I used taco seasoning as some other reviewers suggested and that worked great.
I was suspicious when I saw the pasta sauce but this turned out rather good. Really nice and quick for a weekday.
Made this according to the recipe….except we had 2 lbs of hamburger instead of one. A little too much chili powder for us…..but I will make it again, just decreasing the amount of chili powder.
This is a great base recipe that you can alter to fit your needs. We made this for dinner tonight but altered it with what we had in the fridge and cupboard. It was super easy and really good. Instead of ground beef we used hot ground pork sausage with sautéed onion, garlic, and peppers. We stirred in stew tomatoes, tomato soup, and chili seasoning.. Cooked elbow noodles separately and later added them to the sauce. Topped it with shredded cheese. This is a great basic recipe for a fast home cooked meal that can be altered however you like .
everything and it was amazing I brown the beef adding some chopped onions cooking on high in the slow cooker for an hour added to cheese and noodles and let it simmer for an hour Deelishis
I didn’t have the Chili power,so I used 1 tablespoon of Tabasco sauce. It gave it a little more “tang”. Not bad at all!
Easy and tasty. only change is I would say is use whatever spaghetti sauce you prefer. I found the ragu they have in recipe to be flavorless. I will make it again, but with the sauce I normally use for my spaghetti.
I made this according to the recipe with one exception: no Ragu sauce. It was delicious. I made it again and decided to follow the recipe and added the Ragu: terrible. Will definitely make again but omit the spaghetti sauce.
Except for sautéing a little onion and garlic with the ground beef, I made this per the recipe. I could do without the corn. It tastes like you can imagine with the given ingredients. My husband liked it more than I did. It was OK, but I doubt I’ll make it again.
