I make this dish quite often. Always a "gobble upper" in my home :)

Easy one-dish tacos and macaroni and cheese. You can't go wrong here. I've made this several times when pantry supplies are running low, and it's always a hit. My 18 month old daughter loves it.

really good, we used canned tomatoes and canned chopped up chillies instead of salsa and spiral mac and cheese!

This taco bake recipe is fun and easy to prepare and bake. I have made it several times. I shared with a neighbor and he said, "You should have been a chef!" I told him that I did not need to be a chef as long as Kraft keeps the recipes coming!"

My husband and I both LOVED this recipe. I added corn and sprinkled green onions on top.

Good but I'm trying it again substituting diced chilis and tomatoes for the salsa and mixing the ingredients instead of layering.
