It was good, but seemed to need more sauce.

Yummy!!!! I loved this recipe!!! My family thought it might need a little more cheese or seasoning. It made fabulous leftovers.

My boyfriend loves this recipe. We have it at least once every two weeks, and he would prefer to have it once a week. I have had sour cream and salsa together before but this combination is outstanding. Thanks for adding a new family favorite to our table!

This is fantastic...! The whole family loved it. The red bell peppers add a really good element to the dish... they taste almost roasted. The combo of the sour cream, salsa, and Italian dressing make a very creamy and tasty sause... might need to add a bit of salt and pepper... :D

I used canned, diced tomatoes instead of the peppers, but otherwise, very good. I'll make this again.

I loved this. It is may favorite receipe so far. I added a little of the Texas Pete hot sauce and 1/2 package of taco seasoning like someone else suggested. It was a little spicy but everyone loved it and it ended up with great flavor. I also left the sour cream out and just put it on the table and people could top it on if they wanted it. I will add this into my regular receipe rotation.
