Here are the changes I made. I omitted the olive oil and cooked the onions with the ground beef. I omitted the peas and green peppers. I raised the amount of chili powder to 1 tsp. I used flour tortillas instead of corn. I also used 2 c. of mexican shredded cheese. When I put it all together, I put about 1/2 c. on bottom of pan. Then layered the tortillas, beef mixture and cheese. I repeated the layers and then sprinkled a little more cheese on top. It turned out pretty good, but could use some spicing up.

very good as is, the only change i made was using sharp chedder, not low fat

Skipped the peas (that's just wrong) and used salsa for the tomato paste, substituted black beans (very nice) and doubled the spices adding garlic & cumin to the beef mixture. Also cut the onion in half, didn't miss the other one. Have to add more cheese too! Really good, my two college boys finished it off.

This was a pretty good dish. Good for cleaning out the pantry! If you are feeding a large crowd I recommend it. We had leftovers and it wasn't as good the second time around.

I didn't care for this casserole, nor did my family. It was very bland (I did add garlic and salt to the ground beef). It almost needed something to hold it all together. Perhaps a can of rotel tomatoes instead of the diced tomatoes would have helped with the seasoning. And more cheese would have made it more like a casserole and not a bunch of ingredients just thrown together.

This recipe tasted pretty good. My husband & I love sour cream, so we topped the dish off with some. It helped out a lot. I also used some salt to season the beef mixture. We enjoyed it, and had it for left overs for the next couple of days.

this was pretty good. nothing spectacular though. added rotel instead of regular chopped tomatoes. glad i did. will try black beans vs. kidneys beans next time as others suggested

Gosh, I am on another page with this one, I felt I wasted so much making it. I wanted to use the whole can of tomato paste, not just the 1/4 cup. I found the whole dish not worth my 1/4 of my panty.

I tried this with some of the alterations from the other reviews, and it was amazing! I also like things spicy so I substituted Rotel tomatoes (mild but will try original next time) and black beans, used taco seasoning on the beef, left out the peas, and used wheat tortillas instead of corn cuz I didn't have any. My husband and I loved it and will definitely make again!

I thought this was pretty good. Wasn't fabulous, but good enough to make again sometime.

too sweet for our tastes

Extremely bland. My 3 year old didn't even like it. Good idea, but needs lots more flavor.

Not bad, but really bland. I even added extra chili powder and red pepper. It's a very attractive dish, but it needs lots more spice to make my family want to eat it. All we could taste was bell peppers and tomatoes. Might have been better if it was simmered longer.

I used wheat tortillias instead of corn, which were wonderful. However, it does need a pinch of salt. Great dish. Will make again!!

This was great! I changed it a bit. I cooked the ground beef and onion together, added the seasonings, then a can of "diced tomatoes with green peppers" and a 5 oz can tomato paste. Then I added the corn and a rinsed/drained can of black beans. (I skipped the peas and kidney beans). Followed the rest of the recipe as is. We topped our servings with "Deans Guacamole Dip" and it was wonderful Served with a salad and Corn Casserole (also from allrecipes). Thanks!
