This hearty cumin-scented casserole has an irresistible cheesy-crisp topping. More Baked Pasta Recipes
Loved it. Was super easy to make. Will make again. Found bland comments so funny.
I am sooooo disappointed in Food and Wine for this one. We should be able to trust and rely on you to provide good recipes. This was so very bland, tasteless and a waste of time and food. I’ve taken the leftovers, added fresh basil and oregano and layered it with more tomato and cheese. Hoping to resurrect the leftovers. Do not waste your time, effort or food on this really bad recipe. Do better Food and Wine. We pay you to do better than this awful offering. I would give it zero stars but can’t submit without a rating. Zero or negative stars here.
BLAND BLAND BLAND!!! I made this exactly as instructed. My entire family hated it! Even the younger kids! I should have known better when it only calls for cumin, salt and pepper. YUCK! will never make this again. A huge waste of food. If you decide to try it cut the recipe in half. Don't waste all that meat. If I could give zero stars I would
This is another bland recipe from a wanna-be chef. I followed the recipe step by step. Will never make this again. Thanks for nothing!! Will continue to follow recipes from the veterans.
No rating. . . . so bland as the first reviewers back in 2017 posted. Mystified as to the high number of high ratings that drew me to this recipe. First and last recipe from Food & Wine I will make. Won't trust a recipe from Food & Wine again.
My goulash with ground meat, tomato soup and macaroni is 10 times better! Not a lot of flavor with this one and a lot to do to make it. I even used 12oz of macaroni instead of a lb like the recipe calls for so I can only imagine what it would have tasted like if I used that much! Didn't much like the chef either.
We liked it. I added garlic. I used fire roasted tomatoes and vegan cheese and sprinkle of Romano on top as well. The cumin really brought out the flavor of the grass fed beef.
I couldn’t agree more. Very bland and a lot of dishes to wash for not so great recipe. Had to “doctor” it up with more tomatoes, garlic and chilli peppers and it still was pretty average. Too much ground beef as others mentioned. This is no way 5 stars. Maybe 2.5?
I wish I would have read the comments below before I wasted time and ingredients in this recipe. I agree with dcdude310. The recipe was over hyped. It should've been advertised as a make-ahead-of-time casserole that you can freeze and save.
This recipe was bland. It needed more pop! Another cant of tomatoes & more cumin for starters. I guess you can’t always trust the 5star ratings.
I'm disappointed in Food & Wine. I can't get over how over-hyped this "beef-aroni" recipe is. Five stars x 1553 reviews...are you kidding me? It's decidedly bland and ordinary. Way too much ground beef- 1 pound would be fine. Not enough seasoning. I would do at least a tablespoon of the cumin plus something else? I tried to fix it by adding a second can of tomatoes, more black pepper and more cheese. It's OK to finish, but I'm pitching this recipe.
