I thought this was very yummy! It was super easy, and makes a lot. I didn't find it to be bland at all, as some of the other comments state. Will make again!!

I found this recipe to be quite bland. We made it as it said, but it definately needs more umph, I would suggest taco seasoning in the meat. I also found it too cheesy, which is odd because I really enjoy cheese.

I might make this again but for kids. It doesn't have a lot of taste - mild. Otherwise, it was very easy to make, and I did use good ground beef

This was very good. my family loved. The next time i will probably use more ground beef, and maybe chop up some black olives to go with the cheese and onions.

I love how quick and easy this is to make. I added a tbsp of chili powder and it gave it a nice kick. My 3 boys loved it and I loved it too.
