  • Should not be called

    phlodfire - March 23, 2009 02:44:06 PM PST
    i am both fortunate enough and unfortunate to live in the southwest... Fortunate because i have access to real mexican food, unfortunate in that any mexican food or recipes from elsewhere just sound horrid... Why would you put cottage cheese in this dish? And Taco Bell branded salsa?! Take my advice skip the cottage cheese, replace it with asadero cheese or even just plain old cheddar... Now concerning salsa, you should always look for a salsa made without vinegar... this allows you to taste the actual ingrediants of the salsa and not just the pickled taste... Now i will admit that i did try this casserole as it is directed, and it was not to my liking, i find that making Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas is much easier and tastier... food for thought....

  • people miss the most obvious things!!!

    the reason it asks for specific brand items is because those items are made by kraft foods and if anyone can read then they would have noticed that the recipe is by kraft foods! duh! This dish is not authentic but it is quick and is great for a weekday meal! I enjoyed it and no I didn\\'t use the specific brands that it asked for, I chose my favorites and just a tip it is a little dry so I added red taco sauce (hot) then put the cheese on it and heated it for the 10 additional minutes. Oh and one other thing I added taco seasing to the ground beef which i\\'m sure spiced up the flavor a bit and I also added chopped white onions!

  • Good stuff

    This is a good recipe. I have picky children and they all loved it. I did add a lil more salsa than the recipe states but I always eyeball it when making recipes. Thanks for sharing this one.
