Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
This was delicious! Made it tonight- trying a week of your $5 meals. Loved the flavor and how filling it was. Husband and 3 year old loved it too! Thanks!!
Do you think it’d be okay to use a whole pound of ground turkey 85%?
I’m excited to try this!
This was absolutely delicious. We found it to be very filling, as well, so we’ll have enough for two meals.
This was very easy and very VERY good. I used ground beef and a homemade enchilada sauce using a can of tomato sauce as the starting point (that took about the same time as browning the ground beef), since I didn’t want to make a special trip to the store. We’ll get at least 8 servings from this.
I really liked this one!! Used half the salt and it was enough for me. Very easy.
I made this for my family and my family loved it!! My husband ate almost all of it lol
Really easy and tasty recipe!
Can this be frozen? If so, before or after cooking?
Could I make this into a freezer meal? Would this freeze well? I would prefer to freeze it unbaked, and then bake it after it thaws. Let me know if you have done this.
Just left walmart and making this tonight! Mouth’s watering and I can’t wait!
