Very bland, but it was simple and the kids liked it.

We found this to be very bland. Had to add all kinds of spices and salt for some flavor. A packet of taco seasoning would really help, unfortunately I didn't have any. I have another recipe for taco soup, I think I'll stick to it.

Tried this tonight, added 1/2 chopped sweet onion and reduced the Chili Powder to 1/2 Teaspoons. (2 teaspoons chili powder is too overpowering, in my opinion) It was great! Served with Cornbread.

Very simple and very delicious! I served it with a side of warm cornbread muffins and honey, and my family loved it. Definitely a keeper!
