This was really good! I made a few adjustments. I didn't have corn meal, so I sprayed the baking dish with pam--no problems. As a matter of fact, the bottom tortilla layer browned and got crispy--very good! I added an onion and minced garlic to the meat while it was cooking (didn't add the garlic powder or fresh onion to the casserole layer), and I added a can of whole pinto beans and a small can of chopped green chilies to the meat mixture after it was cooked.

Awesome! I used mild cheddar cheese and it turned out delicious!

The flavor was good but next time I would try doubling the ground beef and making another layer of everything.

This was very tasty. I used roasted tomatillo salsa instead of traditional and I sauteed my onion with the ground beef and added garlic instead of the powder. This was a big hit and will be making it regularly.

I used a combination of cheddar and pepper jack cheese to give it a little extra heat. And, I made the salsa homemade. I took it to a party and it was a hit! So yummy!

This was a hugh hit with my family. Added crushed nacho chips to top before serving. Have passed recipe on to others and many love it.

Friends and family love this recipe. We've made this recipe three times now. We do change the ingredients around to our own taste.

My husband and I really liked this recipe. I cut back on the amount of ground beef and added about 2/3 cup of black beans.

I substituted shredded cooked chicken for the ground beef, and it worked out well.

We made this last night and it was very delicious! It was really easy to make as well. To make things a little easier, we used some Baking Spray (like Pam), the kind with flour mixed in - instead of the greasing the pan and using the cornmeal. Worked like a charm.
