Great recipe. I took others advice and used the O'brien potatoes (cubed frozen potatoes w/ peppers and onions). I doubled the recipe, and I also still put in one small onion and one small green pepper. Even my picky eater loved it. Will definitely make again!

Just like so many others have said, really easy, very delicious meal. I also made it with the fried egg (New Mex style), was a hit, everyone thought that was pretty "neat" to have for dinner. Made me think, maybe next time make it into an egg bake, hmm

My husband and my 5 kids all LOVED this. I used a green pepper, onion, and canned corn (drained). I also used shredded hash browns and it turned out wonderfully! Next time i will plan on serving a fried egg on top per someone else's idea - hubby thought that sounded good, since it is kind of like a "mess" anyway.

I read the reviews and, like others suggested, used o'brien potatoes (you know, the diced potatoes with onions and peppers), mexi-corn (whole kernel corn with peppers), and Velveeta Mexican Mild cheese. IT WAS WONDERFUL!!! And even better the next day!!! Definitely will make this again and again.

I made this last night, It was tasty...but I wanted more! I think I will follow the advise of one reviewer and try it with taco shells or with nacho chips!

My first time making this recipe. Added a small can of mushrooms to the mix in the beginning. After adding potatoes, it seemed it would be a little on the dry side, so added a 14 oz can of tomato sauce, and a little cajun seasoning for some kick. Baked up perfectly. Served with tortilla chips, Frank's Red Hot, and cold beer was a great big game meal.

Made this last night and it was so yummy. I substituted a 1/2 bag of southwest hash browns (cubed potatoes w/ bell peppers & onions) - next time I will use a full bag because it could of used a few more potatoes. To make sure the potatoes were done I cooked them separately and then stirred them into the cooked meat. I also used 1 1/2 pks of taco seasoning. I used the Velveeta as stated in the recipe. I served this in bowls topped with crushed tortilla chips, salsa and sour cream. DELICIOUS AND SO EASY TO MAKE!!!
