Like some of the other reviewers, I thought this needed a bit more Mexican flavor so I added some chili powder and cumin on top of the seasoning mix... Some other good additions would be corn, black olives, scallions/green onions.... Maybe even pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar... It's a good recipe to play with...

This makes way more than 6 servings!!! My husband and I will be eating these leftovers for a week. This was good. However, I think the recipe calls for way too much macaroni and not enough taco seasoning. I didn't have tomato soup or sauce, so I used a 6oz can of tomato paste mixed with 6 oz of water and it was just fine. Next time I make this, I will reduce the amount of macaroni and maybe use 1 and 1/2 packets of taco seasoning.

I also am not renewing my subscription. I do not look forward to recieving my magazines in the mail the way I used to. What happened to the no advertising policy? I do not feel that I am getting what I am paying for. Not near as good as it used to be.I will reuse my old ones that I enjoy looking at.

I also wanted to add my "two cents" on the issue of the "new" magazine style.

Wouldn't it be nice if FOR ONCE someone out there in Reimanpub-land acknowledged that so many of their customers are unhappy. I have a HUGE pile of old magazines. They are tattered and the covers are all falling off, but one of my favorite Sunday evening couch activities is to half-watch the news and scour my old TASTE OF HOME magazines for recipes that look good - and I haven't tried yet. My 16 year old daughter even gets in on the fun!

The new magazine style is just awful! I use to love the stories about other families, the pictures of all kinds of people - in different parts of the country - women with 10+ kids, Mennonite women, women who work, women who stay home, pictures of little kids cooking - all of it held my attention and kept me signing up year after year.

I would say out of the 10 members of my immediate family that took the magazine (Taste of Home) or Quick Cooking (it was so great!) and even Light & Tasty - not a single one of us have a subscription now. Surely our family isn't of the minority here!

IS ANYONE LISTENING OUT THERE IN REIMANPUB-LAND? Please bring back our magazines! They were loved and more importantly for you "purchased"!
