What an easy recipe to prepare when your in a hurry. I did brown the beef with some onions and garlic adding about 1/4 tsp. italian seasoning then followed the rest of the instructions. Thank you for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2012. -
This was delicious, the only thing I did not do was to add the cheese powder..

I am a busy mom both with stuff at home and my work. My kids and husband love to try new creations so they are right at home with my love of recipes. It is fun to make something and try several different ways at it. I love to try different enchilada recipes, recipes for various ice teas, and anything that gets food on the table on the weeknights. Restaurant recipes for the weekends are another favorite.
