Food Facts

Chili powder is a powdered seasoning mix that is available in the spice aisle of your grocery store. Despite the name, it's not hot and spicy, but it does add a nice touch of Tex-Mex flavor.

My husband and I both loved it, it's a keeper. I took a sugestion from another reviewer, and used 1/2 pkg of taco seasoning, instead of the chili powder.

I used 1/2 packet of taco seasoning instead of chili powder for extra flavor and it was delicious, and very easy.

OK, but very ordinary. Will put this recipe in my go-to file when I need something quick and easy.

This recipe is wonderful, so tasty! I have made it many times and everyone loves it! I usually don't use the sour cream and I really don't notice any difference in flavor.

I used a store brand of Italian dressing (what I had on hand) and I think it was too oily for this dish. I ended up with lots of grease and the sour cream separated. I will probably make again, using the Kraft dressing instead.
