Thank you for this recipe. My family loved it! We added sour cream and tortilla chips which really added to the Mexican flavors. I would like to try this with chicken the next time!!

this just wasnt' that great. My husband (who loves mexican food) didn't enjoy this. I believe the leftovers tasted better the second day.

My kids LOVE this. I don't use the taco sauce, I just use tomato sauce (what I had on hand). The kids ask for it every day, and my husband and I enjoy it as well.

I love this recipe. It's very simple to make and delicious as well. I add taco seasoning and I boil the macaroni prior to adding it to the beef mixture.

Made this with enchilada sauce and added some taco seasoning instead of Taco sauce. Turned out great!

This is very similar to a recipe my husband and I love. I cook a box of Kraft macaroni as directed while browning 1 lb of ground beef. When both are done, I add them together with 1 can chili beans (unrinsed, in medium sauce), and a few spoonfuls of salsa con queso. Easy and yummy!
