Shred and Freeze CheeseIt’s usually cheaper to buy cheese in blocks than in shredded form. So I purchase large quantities of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella, then shred them myself in my food processor. I store the shredded cheese in the freezer in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags, so I have it at my fingertips whenever it’s needed. —Evelyn O., Parma, Ohio

Easy and fast meal. The Pepper Jack cheese adds a nice spice. I used brown rice adding it uncooked with an additional 1/2 c. of beef broth and cooked mixture until the rice was done. I served it with corn and tortilla chips. My husband loved it, adding sour cream and lettuce.

I needed a quick meal for a lot of people using things I had on hand. I doubled this recipe and put in a crock pot. They really liked it!

This was okay... Might be better to use salsa in this rather than tomato sauce...

Was a fast and easy meal. I would make Texas Skillet before I would make this again.

The weaker palates in the family used cheddar rather than pepper jack as it was definitely spicy! love it!

My guys really liked this one. It was quick and easy to prepare. Flour tortillas and taco chips were a great accent along with sour cream. I did have a hard time finding the Ranch style beans though.

We substituted brown instant rice and balck beans and used far less cheese than called for. Yummy and filling.

Love this recipe! I use cheddar cheese instead of the pepper Jack, and use less onion and chili powder because it was a little too spicy for us :)

This is yummy! I substituted mild enchilada sauce for the tomato sauce.
