"This recipe was easy and wonderful. I prepared it exactly as suggested, other than using hot ground pork in lieu of mild, and fresh mushrooms instead of canned. The result was a really, really tasty dish that I will definitely prepare again. If you're not into grilling, I can't think of a better use of summer zucchini than this recipe." —Majordobie

"This is my go-to broccoli casserole. I use fresh broccoli and steam it just 'til it changes color. Other than that I didn’t change anything. Sometimes I add either crispy onions or buttered breadcrumbs to the top, but it really isn’t necessary." —Auntylene

"As a single mom, I'm always looking for quick and simple recipes. Well, this definitely fits the bill — I didn't change it much at all. Even my picky 7-year-old scarfed it down and she even asked for seconds. This will become a staple for us." —Christina

Spaghetti Bake

"I absolutely loved this dish. I would probably add garlic salt for a bit more flavor. I added a red bell pepper as well as a green, and I'm glad I did; it added just a hint of sweetness. The thing that really sold me on this, though, was how filling it was. I made the pan for my husband and me, and it lasted us almost a whole week." —Shan Spaff
