My advice is to use the seasoning as a starting point for adding your own favorite pasta sauce seasoning, like garlic powder, oregano, etc. and definitely salt and pepper to taste." — Fabeveryday View Recipe 02 of 16 Grandma's Hamburger Casserole Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "I made this recipe and it was a fantastic find! I followed the straightforward directions almost exactly as written (adding seasoning to the ground meat—oregano and a few red pepper flakes). I used a 24-ounce jar of tomato sauce, instead of the larger amount suggested. It came out as a fantastic meal when paired with steamed broccoli. I'll be making this again." — Rich View Recipe 03 of 16 John Wayne Casserole ALLRECIPES/VICTORIA JEMPTY "This was amazing! I made it just as called for and would not change a thing.
