I made this recipe for a Mexican potluck we were having with our small group at church. Even before I had the casserole in the oven, my dad licked the spoon from the sauce and said, "MMMMMM, that's good!!!" I had to agree!!! At the potluck, there wasn't much left and what was will make a delicious option for lunch! I did use a red pepper since I favor them over green because they're sweeter and I used a Kraft Mexican cheese blend too. Thank you so much for a delicious Mexican recipe!!!

This was fine for being a comfort food casserole. I brought it to a church pot luck. Only about half was eaten. I did add an additional cup of salsa and I combined the called for cottage cheese with a cup of sour cream just because I had a hard time spreading out everything. I also left out the olives. I might make this again when I have leftover taco meat and salsa.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
