    Good
    I changed this recipe somewhat because I'm on a controlled diet...I used ground turkey instead of sirloin and taco sauce instead of catalina dressing. I rinsed the canned kidney beans before adding them. And I made my own taco seasoning to cut down on salt. It was AWESOME! Great idea! - 2/8/10

    Looks delish! Extra lean ground turkey or bison would cut down on the fat and calories without sacrificing taste or protein. - 2/6/10
