I gave this recipe an 8 out of 10 , it was really easy to make. Although I did leave out the mushrooms. I like using pork than beef, and its nice alternative. Super yummy
Great

As the previous post said this was a nice change from traditional pasta bakes. I found it whilst trying to figure out what to do with a pack of pork mince I had stored away in my freezer. Great for a family recipe and very quick and simple to make.
