Ground Beef Spiral Bake image

We got this recipe from a restaurant cook who lived in the duplex beside my mother-in-law. It was one of his favorites. It's easy to make, tastes fantastic and freezes well. Both my mother-in-law and her neighbor are gone now, but this recipe always brings back happy memories! -Monika Rahn, Dillsburg, Pennsylvania

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my spiral bake didn't turn out right. It was dry and overcooked.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra seasoning and it was much better.
