you may find the soup gives it a more thicker binding with the sauces, where the tomatoes are looser

I never did make this. Thanks for bumping it.

Had this again for dinner last night - it has become a firm favourite here with all of us. This time TM was in use so I did the mince and pasta in the slow cooker (together) then put into the serving dish, did the cheese sauce in TM and cooked it in the oven later on - was still delicious!  :D

Made enough for the 6 of us and 5 lunches for DH.  :)
:D

Have just finished preparing this one.......I think it's going to be a winner, followed Chelsea's tweaks and cooked the pasta in with the beef to eliminate having to boil the pasta separately.  Also had some lovely rainbow chard so chopped that up and placed it on top of the beef, then the cheese sauce - YUMMO!!! :)

I made this tonight, it was a huge hit! ;D

I didn't realise how much it made. I knew I should have read all the comments first! We have another whole dish for the freezer, plus leftovers for mum and SD to have for lunch tomorrow :)

I added a good sprinkling of dried rosemary and thyme to my mince sauce, and used tinned tomatoes rather than tomato soup.

Thank you so much for this dish. We all loved it. My cheese sauce was a bit runny (my fault) but everything was really delicious. Added pizza topper as suggested. Yummy and easy.

We tried this tonight too.
Thanks for a great recipe. I had some baby spinach that needed using so I added it about two minutes before the mince finished. Also used a can of chopped tomatoes, mixed herbs and dried oregano instead of the can of soup.
DD2 and DH both gave it the thumbs up, it's sure to be a regular  :)

This is surely a favourite with many who have been on the end of the serving spoon at our place over many years - pleased that you enjoyed it  :)

I thought I would report back and say I made this ( first time) to have at DD on Friday for supper.Complete success we loved it ;) I only used half the mixture of beef sauce and cheese sauce with one cup of cooked macaroni for the three of us.The remaining sauces have gone into the freezer for another time ;D
