I added taco seasoning, refried beans, cheesy salsa to the meat. I also put tomatoes in each layer. The children loved it.

I would LOVE to make this recipe - if only I could get Velveeta in Shanghai!

I have been making a similar recipe for the past several months. The whole family loves this.

Very good, skipped the velveeta, and just added 1/2 shredded cheddar to meat mixture, very good and easy will make again!

D-lish! I put in a few Tbls of taco seasoning when I cooked the meat. I also dollopped a little sour cream through out on each layer and when cooked I topped with lettuce tomatoes and sliced avacado. My husband said that next time he'd rather just spoon the meat mixture into tortillas and eat like a taco. Either way this is a delicious dish and easy to make!

I've made it several times, usually with ground turkey, some cheddar cheese on top, and refried beans layered under the meat. Very easy, and tasted great!!

I used the remaining half of a double recipe of homemade chili I had in the freezer, and I added a layer of fresh baby spinach leaves. Baked it 30 minutes in the oven, then 3 minutes in the micro. It was simple, fast and delish! Great quick dish for a week night dinner.

My husband said this is AWESOME!!! It was very good and very easy to make and very cheap. I did change it a little though, I added taco seasoning to my meat and added a little more velveta to the meat mixture also. Will for sure be making this one over and over again.

My family loves this, and I have a terrible time finding things that everyone likes. However, the first time I made this, it was sort of bland. I recommend seasoning the meat with a package of taco seasoning. I did that the second time, and it was terrific!
