Always a hit anytime I make it!!
I Love this.
I loved it – had just enough kick. I put a little shredded cheddar on top before serving.
I’ve made this recipe several times, my family absolutely loves it. I also used red , yellow and orange bell peppers instead of the green, and it tasted amazing. I also serve it with sour cream and guacamole or plain avocado slices. Awesome goulash!!
I added sliced black olives, corn, seasoned black beans not drained, shredded cheddar cheese and a shake of red pepper flakes. So easy and delish! Might be my new “mercy meal”.
wonderful
this was pretty good. I didn’t have green chiles, I think that would’ve made it better. I did add cheese. it wasn’t anything to rave about, but since it’s so simple and quick, I’ll probably make it again
I thought this was quite tasty, but I did change it up a little. I used at least another 1/2 Tbsp taco seasoning, canned corn, frozen 3 pepper blend (in place of green), and added probably 1 1/2-2 Tbsp of chipotle taco sauce. In addition, I turned it into a one pot recipe by using a large cast iron pan and adding uncooked noodles and 12 oz or so of chicken broth and let it all simmer together, covered, until noodles were done. I will probably use tomatoes with habeneros to spice it up more next time.
I added a small can of sliced black olives and topped it with shredded sharp cheddar cheese. It was easy and delicious. I will make it again soon.
Very easy to do and tasty !!!
Quick, easy & Tasty!!
Wow, delicious and super easy! My changes based on what I have: a whole orange pepper chopped (not green), a whole can of corn, and a whole envelope of taco seasoning. We used grated cheese, sour cream and chopped avocado for garnish. Next time I may swap out a can of black beans for the corn to up the nutritional value. But this is really tasty!
Great recipe! I enjoyed the simplicity of it. I added beef broth and flour to thicken, garlic, cilantro, taco sauce and shredded cheddar. To me, it needed flavor and some sauce. I really enjoyed!
This recipe is amazing. I went ahead and put it all in a casserole pan and poured a layer of cheese on top and baked it for 30 minutes. So delicious. My family loved it!
Wow! We loved this. My son loves tacos too, but I think they are too messy to eat, sometimes. This was perfect compromise. All the taste of a good taco, without the hassle of putting out all the toppings. I did put out a bowl of tortilla chips for anyone that wanted to scoop them up that way, lol. Well done!!
A little bland. I added a small can of Hatch green chiles.
Used rotini noodles instead of macaroni noodles, used taco sauce instead of Worcester sauce.
Excellent just needed more fire- substituted hot rotel and used hot salsa. Add a little velvets.
This recipe was so easy and delicious. I added cheese and sour cream as an add on when serving. Also served with flour tortillas on the side
Made this for a potluck that I’m going to tomorrow. I’m sure this will be a big hit with everyone!
I made some twists to this. We like spicy! i used 1 lb of ground beef and 1 lb of farmer John hot sausage. Added an entire chopped onion, red and green bell peppers, rotel tomatoes, black beans, corn, cilantro, cumin. depending on your like for spicy, go ahead and add spicy Mexican tomato sauce, once i used enchilada sauce as it was all i had. You can kick up the spice more with red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper etc . I topped it with green onion or cilantro, what ever is on hand and those tortilla strips ( I’VE MADE MY OWN, CUT STRIPS OF CORN TORTILLAS AND FRY) or jalapeno salad toppings, sprinkle of cheese! Use an entire pound of noodles. Gets better a day later. Also freezes for another meal. Put in a bag then boil the bag later to cook. Guess I totally obliterated the original recipe. Just think Mexican. I can see cat’s in it. Be creative. Add Mexican rice. I make that spicy too. Hmmm chill it and make it a salad. I’ve made Mexican salad.
