We liked the idea of this recipe but after trying it, felt like it needed that extra "oomph" On the second occasion I made this, I added 16oz. tomato sauce, 2 pkgs. taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water to the ground beef. I then spread 1 cup of sour cream over ground beef mixture and topped that layer with shredded Mexican cheese blend before adding the soup mixture to the top. This is why I love taste of home so many awesome home cooks and we can build off of each others recipes to make them our own.

This was just kind of ok to me. It lacked something. Maybe add another package of taco seasoning or something. I added some chili powder to my second helping & some crushed red pepper. It helped a bit but still lacked something. I don't think the potatoes are a good compliment to it. Maybe something crunchy on top like corn chips.

I used salsa instead of tomato sauce and water. I also omitted the green peppers and soup and used Mexican cheese blend . It was a great idea, I just made it my own. Thank you

I left out tomato sauce and water and used salsa instead. I also left out soup milk and green pepper and used Mexican blend cheese. You had a really great idea and I just made it my own. Thank you.

We loved this! The only change we made was to use star tator tots instead of the potatoes. It was not sloppy or a mess and my family of picky eaters loved it.

My family loved this! We used star shaped tator tots instead of the frozen potatoes. Otherwise we followed the recipe exactly and it turned out fantastic!

Hard to believe this was on the cover which was my inspiration when I saw it standing in line at the grocery store. The real shame is wasting about $15 on ingredients only to end up with a processed tasting, bland, uncooked mess that I'm not sure my dogs would eat. Like the other reviewer said, if you don't par cook the potatoes, they'll end up raw. I had never seen or used Nacho Cheese Soup, but I found a can made by Campbell's that was the saddest tasting product of theirs reminiscent of powered cheddar cheese sauce. Like another reviewer mentioned, once I saw the consistency of this cheese mess both before and after cooking, I thought about adding some "real" cheddar cheese... glad I didn't because that would have been just like flushing more dollar bills down the toilet along with the rest of the dish. This recipe might have a chance if it called for 4 packs of taco seasoning and 2 cups of cheddar cheese instead of the disgusting nacho cheese soup and to pan fry the potatoes before topping the casserole with them. I'd probably also substitute a can of diced tomatoes for the can for tomato sauce which did nothing but further water down any natural flavor of the beef.... 10 dollars worth of 93% fat free all natural good stuff.

My family really liked this. The only thing different I did was add shredded cheddar cheese.
