This nicely spiced entree uses several of my family's favorite ingredients, including macaroni, kidney beans, tomatoes and cheese. Just add a green salad for a complete meal. —Marlene Wilson of Rolla, North Dakota

My three boys loved this! We used crushed tomatoes instead of diced, ground turkey instead of beef and we only had 1/4 cup of Mexican cheese, so we supplemented with Mozzarella and it was still delicious! The boys were asking for seconds! This is a keeper.

We love this dish. I drain the diced tomatoes and replace the juice with enchilada sauce. It gives it a different flavor.

This was great! I added 2 more cans of chili beans w/sauce, seasoned it well with extra garlic powder, seasoned salt and ground red pepper. This filled up my large crock pot, on high for 2 hours, topped with the shredded cheese at the serving line, and the dish was practically licked clean at our church luncheon. Wonderful comfort food during the cold midwest fall days!

Our family loved this! It was so easy to throw together. I will be making this often.

My family really enjoyed this. I used lean ground pork instead of ground beef, left out the green chilies (we don't like them), doubled the macaroni and added 12oz. of tomato sauce. Even my picky eater liked it.

Excellent and Easy to make, I slimmed it down a little more by using ground Turkey instead of beef and we loved it. I've made it a couple of times and will make it again.
