I've made this 3 times now--it's become a part of our regular rotation as we usually have these ingredients on hand. I always season my meat with pepper and garlic powder plus I followed the advice of others and used taco seasoning to my beef. With medium salsa, it's got the right amount of kick. We love it!

I made this as is, but added 1 more cup of noodles. Very creamy, inexpensive, and quick! I did not feel I needed to heat my oven just to melt cheese, so once I mixed all of the ingredients, I turned off the heat, put a lid on and let it sit for 5 minutes. This is definitely a dish that I will be making again and again!!

I've made this pasta bake several times using 1 pound of ground beef, 1 pound of pasta, salsa, the soup & I even added a well-drained can of corn. I also use extra cheese, especially on top. I've also made it with half salsa & half mild Rotel. It's delicious! I serve it with a side of Ranch Style beans, sour cream & fresh bread baked in the bread maker. In fact, it's tonight's dinner! I may add some Taco Seasoning just for a different taste. This is definitely a keeper!

Surprisingly delicious! I followed other reviewers' advice and used a packet of taco seasoning on the beef, otherwise made it exactly as written. The soup added an appealing creaminess. Also used medium salsa. My husband took one bite and declared it a new Top 10 favorite! Plus it couldn't be easier to make, and was ready in a flash. Thanks for sharing this keeper!

Made this last night for myself, and like others, added taco seasoning, onions, and garlic and more cheese. Because I love spiced up stuff, added chili powder and 2 diced up jalapeno peppers. Was really good. Well worth making again, but might try different soups each time. (Cheese, Mushroom, or Celery..maybe even bean with bacon.) Good recipe Michele.

Just made this dish, but tweaked it a bit, I thought the cream of chicken was going to be wierd but i tried it anyways, I used ground turkey instead of ground beef, didn't have taco seasoning, so I used seasoning salt, pepper, onion powder, & garlic powder, added chopped onions and fresh garlic, topped it with cilantro and cheese. It turned out really good, my husband is a big critic to my creations but he had seconds. Next I will add more cheese and try it with taco seasoning.

I thought it was pretty good. I took another reader's advice and added a packet of taco seasoning to the meat. I think that added a nice flavor to it. I'm just not sure if I was a fan of the cream of chicken soup with the other ingredients. If I was to make it again I might try a can of cheddar cheese soup instead. It was definitely a quick and easy meal.
