Looks less than appealing but was surprisingly good. I used ground turkey in place of the beef. I added about 1/3 can of skim milk and a bit more salsa than what was called for. My husband and I really liked it. The kids thought it was just ok.

This was yummy! Instead of Pace Picante sauce, i used almost a cup of salsa and 2 tablespoons of sofrito. I didn't use celery,and i added onion salt and salt and pepper. Also at the end I added 3 heaping tablespoons of sour cream, which made it delicious! We ate it with tortilla chips, which made it perfect.

I didn't have celery so I added onion and garlic while browning the beef. My husband and son loved it, but I felt this recipe was missing something. For me it needed a little spice and crunch. I added some hot sauce and it was better, but I think next time I will add jalapenos and tortilla chips. Overall, I think it was just okay.

This was AWESOME be-c it was fast & easy and most important delicious!! Especially considering i didn't have the answer to the dreaded question: "What's for dinner (6pm)?" and it was already 5:37. I happened to have just enough leftover jarred salsa and leftover Fritos jalapeno cheddar dip, from new yr's party to make this work. i didn't have celery but i think it was fine w/out it. In fact, when i make this again i still wont add celery be-c i'm afraid it will mess it up since celery has such a strong taste. I will also continue to use the jalapeno cheese dip as that is what takes this ordinary meal over the top! I think i'll make a custom version recipe since it was so yummy!

We used ground turkey, 2 stalks celery, minced garlic and onion (to taste), 2 cans Campbell's healthy request cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup Pace salsa, 1 15.4 oz can corn drained, 1 cup cooked elbow noodles, 1/3 soup can skim milk, salt and pepper (to taste) and sharp cheddar cheese (to taste). My husband sprinkled crushed red pepper flakes on his.

My family loved this very simple recipe and with a couple of very small changes it would be a five. This is not a "Nice enough for company" meal. It essentially makes a very tasty homemade Hamburger Helper with a slight southwestern tinge. The two things I tweaked were very small and I only decided to do them when I didn't like the way something was turning out as I cooked it. I added a slight bit of milk to it before I added the cheese to make it more bubbly and moist and I also added a couple of more tsp. of the picante than suggested...just to use up the entire bottle. It was very simple and easy to make.

My husband thinks this is great. He even said he "enjoyed it" the next day (unusual for my man).

This was a yummy and great quick fix meal! My husband is a picky eater, and doesn't usually like things I prepare with cream soups. I never told him this had cream of mushroom soup, and I never will :) My husband said he really like this!
