We really enjoyed this! I loved the green onions and was surprised at the difference in taste/texture that it gave over typical white onions. I used one pound of turkey and one of hamburger and realized too late that I only had one pack of taco seasoning so I used it and just increased the other seasonings slightly. My husband asked me to pack up the leftovers so he could share with a friend at work (and he never eats leftovers, so this is a huge compliment)!

I made this for Freezer Tag 2008. This was really good and easy to make. Since I was making this for freezer tag, I followed the instructions up to step 14. After that I wrapped and froze. I pulled this early in the am and let thaw then continued with step 15. I did add another 1/2 cup of water before placing it in the oven. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't add the cayenne pepper or the green onions as my family doesn't like things too spicy nor are they crazy about onions. I cooked this for 30 minutes. We added sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes. It was like eating a taco salad.

I am happily married to my best friend and we just bought our first house! No kids but we have 2 little dogs that we think the world of. I was born in California and although I have been on the East Coast for most of my life I am still displaced! I love the beach and hate the cold! In our free time we love to go to the beach or the mountains and hike or intertube down the lazy Shenendoah River. It is so beautiful there! I have loved to cook all of my life and will read cookbooks like they are novels!
