I am always looking for quick dinner recipes, and this was so simple and extremely delicious. When we don't have a lot of time for dinner, this is our go-to meal.

Easy and tasty but one of those boxed dinners that you add the hamburger to is even easier and tastes about the same.

Super tasty! I think it was great even if you didn't add the tortilla chips and other toppings. My husband loved it too.

Family loved this! I added chopped onions to the ground beef, used light sour cream and whole-grain chips, and served it with chopped cilantro. Delicious, easy, thanks, Kraft!

I have made this twice. Once with the powder cheese and the next with the cheese packet. Cheese packet is definitley better! My family loves it!

This is a great mid-week dinner for those who work long hours. We skip the sour cream and chips to keep it on the lighter side. Also, try adding corn - gives a nice texture.

My husband was a bit skeptical at first since it uses the mac & cheese dinner, but he loved it. We jazzed it up with additional taco toppings and fresh cilantro. My 2 year old liked it too.

This is a great meal that my kids loved!! Especially after a later baseball game it is quick and easy to make. By the time my son is out of the shower, this is ready to eat. The one change I made was I used Scoops and scooped it up instead of crushing the chips on the top. That way if there are any leftovers the chips don't get soggy.

Easy and my husband loved it. The taco seasoning was a bit too strong for my taste. I would make it again, but I would not use entire taco seasoning packet.

My daughter doesn't like burger, she will eat it when it is in things. So when I find a recipe that she don't pick the burger out then I have to rate it superb. I really like it too. Too spicey for hubby but he eat it, maybe I will cut down on the seasoning next time.
