I loved this Southwestern-style casserole when my mother made it years ago. Now my husband enjoys it when I prepare it. The flavor reminds us of enchiladas, but this handy recipe doesn't require the extra time to roll them up.

I prepared this tonight and it was a success. Very Delicious, of course, we topped it with some HOT Jalapeno peppers.....yummmmm!

Very, good and easy. The reason the recipe with the macaroni was dry, as the macaroni takes up the moisture from the recipes to cook the noodles. Would have had to add more moisture. When you substitute, you have to know your ingredients and how they cook.

This was absolutely fabulous! My family really enjoyed it and the whole pan was GONE - no leftovers out of this one. I plan to share this on my blog:www.theneveraloneprincess.com

This recipe turned out great. I was a bit worried about how it would turn out because so many reviewers said it turned out dry but it was not dry at all!! I am not sure what they did vs what I did but mine was moist, flavorful and just right. I used half ground beef and half ground turkey and added more spices and each person had the choice to put a bit of sour cream on top but that was all I changed. None of it was dry at all. so don't beware!

I followed the recipe pretty much to the letter and it received a rave review from husband. I will add less cumin and chile powder next time, perhaps mix the sauce with the beef and onion to have a moister bottom layer. Flavor was good, easy preparation.

This was very good similar to enchiladas but easier. I susbstitued a small can of enchilada sauce for the tomatoes, as I felt the tomatoes were too sweet compared to the meat. I also added a small can of diced green chilies and cilantro and this was very good. Will definitely fix again

I think taco lasagna is similar but better. This seemed to fall apart as it was dry.
