I followed the recipe except I added a spoonful of black beans at the bottom of each shell. The whole family enjoyed it- I used spicy taco sauce on 1/2 and mild on the other so all would be happy. My son heated up leftovers the next day in the toaster oven using the "toast" setting. He said it was fast and made it into yummy, crispy finger food. So there's the 11 year old's tip.

Like others, for the creamy salad dressing I used light sour cream with a little light mayo. The casserole held together pretty well. My husband complained it was a little bland so I added cayanne pepper to 1/2 of it the second time I made it. He was happy and the kids were happy with their less spicy side.

This tasted great and is a great way to seriously improve on a store bought cake mix. I used Pam to spray the bundt pan and must have missed a section because about 1/4 of the cake stuck. Rather than try to fix it using frosting, I clean cut the 3/4 that came out well and made it pretty with the glaze. With the 1/4 that stuck, I made cake cups for the kids. This was a Christmas Eve dessert, so I put a scoop of the cake in the bottom of a Christmas designed platstic cup. Then I added a spoonful of whipped cream, then a spoonful of cake, then whipped cream & topped with a little glaze. The kids really liked the cups and I didn't waste any of the yummy cake.
