Made this recipe exactly as stated. It was a little spicy to our liking, however, after putting a dollop of sour cream on top it cut the spicy taste a bit. I have other recipes that call for the taco seasoning mix and I usually don't use the whole packet. Also, thought it was a little dry. Would have liked a little more moisture. May experiment with a smaller, deeper dish so the mixture is not so spread out and may not dry out as much.

I didn't have any of the french fried onions on hand so I used chopped green onions in the cornbread mix and on top with the cheddar cheese. Yummo!!

Very good recipe! Next time I make it I will make a little extra of the meat/sauce mix to serve with it as it does tend to be a little dry if reheating. Still, tasty addition to our normal meal rotation.

Made this a couple weeks ago. Everyone in my family loved it. Making it again tonight.

I switched the hamburger with turkey burger to make it a little more healthy. My family LOVED this recipe! We'll definitely keep it in the weekly meal rotation!

Took this as a dish for Thanksgiving and kind of hurt the hosts feelings when everyone asked for a to-go plate of my casserole.

My whole family liked this. I did make a variation though. I omitted the green peppers and added a can of black beans (rinsed) to stretch it a bit. It fit into a 9x13 pan nicely. I also did not put the french onions on top after it had baked. I will save the other half can for the next time I make it since they are pricey.

This was great, I used ground turkey instead of the ground beef and 1/2 cup pf shredded cheese. I put the the corn bread around the edge of the beef mixture and my husband and I loved it. I would make it again. Very easy and quick to make on a busy night.

My husband and I enjoyed this VERY much! We liked how it had the spices from the taco seasoning then you have the sweetness from the cornbread and that they go together so well. As others said it is VERY easy to make and it is something I will make during the week when I have limited time to make a nice dinner. This is GREAT and would recommend it to any of my family or friends looking for something different to eat! Will definitely make again! Thanks for the Wonderful recipe!

My husband and I thought this was a very tasty dish. It is simple to assemble & cooks up quickly. My only suggestion would be to really check to make sure the cornbread is cooked all the way through. I didn't do this, as it looked to be done, and found that portions of the cornbread topping were NOT fully cooked. We ate around it and enjoyed it nonetheless. We too omitted the onions, as I am not a fan. Will make again...
