Creamy Hamburger Noodle Casserole

From EatingWell: March/April 1999

READER'S COMMENT:

"I used TVP and fluffed it up using beef broth. I put lots of garlic in, because I'd read the comments about it being bland. Added red pepper flakes, per the previous reviews. Still bland. We added more sour cream to it and more salt,...

Very good!

This was really good. I did take to heart some of the comments about blandness so kicked it up a big notch, because I need spice! Lots more fresh garlic, and a stand by mix of spices I use for everything (paprika, onion powder, cayenne, etc.) It had a good spice to it, I think the bulgur adds a lot of flavor. I also used 96 lean beef, and it worked great. This one is in the go to book now.

Pros: Healthy and really really good!

LOVE the couscous idea. I

LOVE the couscous idea. I won't buy bulgur just for one recipe. We love couscous and so that's what we'll do.

Fabulous!

This will go into my favorites box. I loved it. I didn't find it bland at all though the flavors are subtle. The bulgar was a wonderful addition both in taste and tecture. To the person that said making the bulgar was too much...you must not have followed the recipe. It's just measure and pour. Doesn't get any easier than that.

Pros: Easy to make, freezes well

TVP will never, ever be a

TVP will never, ever be a taste substitute for beef. No wonder you didn't like it. Next time trying following an original recipe before making radical changes.
