This has become a real fave in our house. It's easy, and it's quite cheap too. There are just my husband and I in our household, so this recipe makes enough for us to have a good serving size each, and there's enough to freeze for another night. I make it in two foil containers, one for dinner, and one to freeze. - 21 Feb 2018
I found this recipe on Pinterest about 2 years ago and have been making it ever since. It's one of my boyfriend's favorites! I change it up sometimes with what I have on hand. I also make my own taco seasoning. The recipe is great as-is. - 24 Jul 2016 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
