I made this for a small get together for some friends. All of us loved it. It was easy to make and it didn't take long. I'll definately use this recipe again.

Good flavor. I added a 4 oz can of green chilis to the ground beef when i added in the tomatoes.

For variety I tried this recipe even though I had reservations about the ingredients. It was excellent. I followed the recipe as stated however I'll add a jalapeno next time to give it a bit of a kick.
