While it may sound like a fancy dish, Beef Lombardi is simply a mixture of ground beef and chopped tomatoes that's spooned over a mixture of creamy noodles, topped with cheese, and baked. It's a great make-ahead dish because you can assemble the casserole and freeze it for up to one month.
Way to much salt and not enough noodles,(I think it needs more then 6 oz. of noodles),or sauce to keep it from becoming to thick with all that paste and just tomatoes,and a 9 x 13 is way to big unless you double it at least. More work then worth.
have never made this before!! what a pleasant surprise! cut entire recipe in half, so didn't use the rotel type tomatoes. used plain greek yogurt with the noodles. might try the chicken recipe next.
This is my go-to dish when I am cooking for a sick friend or bereaved family. I always make 2 and keep one because it is not too much extra work and my whole family loves it. I believe the secret is the tomato paste that gives it the extra zing that regular lasagna and other pasta dishes don't have. Very easy, feeds a lot of people and can easily be put in a disposable pan to share.
I make this often. Everyone loves it and requests the recipe.
This was pretty good, even my picky teenager ate it and had seconds! I added taco seasoning to the meat after it browned for flavor. I also added swiss cheese because I did not have enough cheddar/mozzarella and it was good.
WOW! This recipe is great.....as always I read the suggestions before cooking. I look forward to making this again for my family.
My family loves this recipe. It is versatile and can be made ahead. Leftovers heat well (if you have any left overs). Every time I take this to a pot luck I am asked for the recipe. Guess that speaks for itself.
This recipe was a hit with my family! I did add several additional spices to give extra flavor but overall this is a very good dish!
This is a wonderful recipe (one of my absolute favorites!) that I have been using for years now. It makes a great gift for someone who has just had surgery or a new baby, but I'd tone it down a bit with MILD Rotel in that case.
I thought it was good and will definitely make it again. I did add a little garlic powder and oregano, as others suggested. Easy to prepare ahead of time and was perfect with a salad and garlic bread.
I have had this 3 times. The first two times I loved it. Then I waited a year or so and fixed it again and wasn't that impressed? I think I have had similar dishes I thought were better. It is worth a try though if you are looking for something different
Has potential, but the receipe needs more. It's less time consuming than a lasagna, but requires just as much clean-up.
