    I have 4 kids who liked it But it was a little spicy for them. My husband and I love it. I found that adding chesse and Sour cream to the top helped the spice on the kids. I used my left overs to Make Enchilidas. - 3/29/11

    I loved this recipe. It was so easy to make and even my kids and my neighbor liked it. Gotta love the simple and delicious stuff. I will be making this again. I might also try it with a beef roast too just to see how it turns out. - 1/20/09
