I fix most of the recipes that receive good ratings. I tried this and it was too bland.

Quick and easy! My kids ate this up. Will def. make this again. Also try the "TACO BAKE" by Kraft. This has become a family favorite.

Pretty good, easy to make. Added some Fritos as a bottom layer for a bit of texture change.

I added a can of corn and peppers and onions to the meat mixture. I didn't have salsa so I used taco sauce on top. Very good and my family liked it too

My family loved this recipe. It was a little more time consuming than some of the shortcut recipes since you had to brown the meat and make the mac & cheese separate, but well worth it.

Excellent ... I used Deluxe mac and cheese. Could have used a slightly larger baking dish. Added a heaping tablespoon of sour cream ... next time I'll use more. Layered the bottom of the baking dish with taco Doritos ... added more on top of the meat. Just before it was done, I added shredded taco cheese.

The very first time I made it, my 12 year old was requesting I make it every Friday night. This quickly became a family favorite.
