I wasn't sure if we were supposed to make the ground beef as directed on the taco mix package, but that is what I did. I used a seasoning packet and the 3/4 cup of water it calls for, and let it boil then simmer for 10 minutes as called for. If I had not done this, it would have been WAY too dry. I think the recipe should be a bit more specific regarding this. Even with that step I still felt it was a bit dry, so next time I might use more salsa and/or more cheese. (Can you ever have enough cheese?) Other than that, definitely a keeper. I made it as stated with the exception of baking it in a 9x9 pan, and also I used canola oil instead of corn oil. We toyed with the idea of adding corn, red peppers, onions and refried beans to the beef mixture, but I always try to follow the recipe as closely as possible the first time.
