My husband is very picky and even he loved this. Printed this recipe 3yrs ago and just got around to making it. We were able to taste all the ingredients. Great dish. Thanks. Will make again.
This is one of my all-time favorite recipes. I made it for the first time about 4 years ago. I do it a little different from the recipe but it always turns out amazing!! I always found that I liked it better before turning it into the casserole so I make it just like a chili. I leave out the cilantro and add other seasonings to make it a little spicier. :-)
This recipe is a keeper & will make again.
My family of 6 loved this. I served it with hot buttered corn tortillas but it would also be great with an accompanyment of guacamole or sour cream, or even a side of cornbread. Will definitely be making this again.
This wasn't a bad dish, but it wasn't what I expected. Thought this would really spotlight the flavor of the chorizo, but instead the chorizo flavor just got lost in the mix.
Really liked this recipe, I did use 1 lb of ground chuck and 1/2 lb of sausage instead of all sausage, it was very easy to put together and it was a big hit a dinner, I will be making it again and giving the recipe to friends.
Loved this recipe! I substituted ground beef for the sausage and forgot the cilantro! But it turned out great, whole family loved it, even my 5 & 11 year old boys. Will definitly make this again!
To the person who commented on the sodium content. Don't rate the recipe if you haven't made it. Also we don't care if you DON'T make it. We are adults and can see how much sodium there is.
I substituted ground beef for the sausage. (We are not big sausage fans) I used regular corn instead of Mexicorn because thats what we had and a can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh. It was great with sour cream and taco sauce on top. I will definitly be making this again.
Have not actualy made this recipe because, as good as it sounds, the sodium content is much too high for me and my husband.
