This was delicious. The chips are a real plus. I like recipes that have flavor and this one does. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great.

This was a great recipe to make on a budget. I couldn't find regular Nacho Cheese soup, so I used Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese soup and it tasted great!I did think the sodium levels were a little high, so I tried to used reduced sodium ingredients where I could (tomatoes). I also used Whole Grain egg noodles, ground sirloin and Whole Grain tortilla chips. I figured every little bit helps.If I were to make any changes, I would:- probably use 1/2 the olives since I thought they overpowered the dish a little- Add an onion and maybe a little jalapeno- I'd use fresh tomatoes instead of salsa on top

Yum-o! What an interesting addition with the green olives! I added chopped onions and garlic powder when cooking the meat to give it some additional flavor. Also, I suggest using Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup and Ro-Tel diced tomatoes to add zest, or else it may be too bland for those who like a kick.-Lesleigh Baden

My whole family loved this recipe! I used Campbells' Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup, which has a little more flavor. Very satisfying!

Very good!! I used Original Rotel and it was spicy! Next time I plan to try mild. I might cut back on the olives (and I love them!) and also add a few cubes of Velveeta. The sour cream and tortilla chips on top are a must. Thanks for the great recipe!

So delicious and a great way to stretch a dollar using only 1# of ground beef. I did substitute a few things, but I am sure the original recipe would be great. Subs were: used 1 can of Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup, Ro-Tel Original diced tomatoes & green chilis (10 oz. can). I sliced the olives and saw no reason to use the Ranch salad dressing. My husband used salsa, but I did not. Baked it in a 2 qt. casserole. I can well imagine the leftovers will be even better. Thanks Kendra. I'd say you are much better than "a pretty good cook". ;)

This was delicious. I used 3 cups of uncooked egg noodles and fire roasted diced tomatoes and skipped the olives. Everyone loved it and am making it again real soon!

This was a good recipe. I did substitute Rotel tomatoes for the tomatoes and seperate green chilis because I was out of a can of green chilis. I wonder how it would be made with tuna for a zesty tuna noodle cassarole? May have to try it out one of these days. Thanks for sharing!
