I thought this was great! You can spice it up however much you like depending on what type of salsa you use. Very interesting flavor with the corn.

Looks like a good weekday meal. I have all the ingredients on hand and will give it a try tonight.

medium salsa instead of mild adds a bit of kick

Easy to make and is a good change from traditional Mac and Cheese. Served with cornbread and a salad, makes a super meal.

This is simple, fast, and forone person, a couple days of leftovers. I also am a cook for a home. Gonna try it there. I also added 2 tablespoons minced garlic to the meat as it was frying.. Yummy

Seemed like more than four servings to us! My husband thought there was too much corn, so next time I'll try 1 c corn, 1/2 c green pepper & 1/2 c onion instead. Otherwise, very good, easy, and great for a reheatable meal to take to the office.

This recipe wasn't bad except for the fact that it tasted REALLY sweet, which to me seems out of place for a salsa dish! If we make it again we are going to leave the corn out, before we added the corn it tasted like a salsa dish...so in my opinion, the corn is optional!!
