My husband loved this so much that he asked me to make it a second day in a row. I am vegetarian, so I substituted soy chorizo for the ground beef. But, it turned out great. Thanks!

I was really surprised that I liked this as much as I did. Totally easy, totally simple. I was starving, but didn't feel up to cooking a big meal, so this really hit the spot. I did use a can of Rotel (very well drained) instead of the salsa and green chiles. I only used a couple large dollops of nacho cheese because I find that stuff SO salty and mac & cheese is salty enough already. I think next time I would skip the nacho cheese completely and it would be good. This is a good recipe when you're hungry but not for anything that takes more than 20 minutes! Thanks :)

I cut this in half for just me and the boys. It was okay. Just a little salty. I smothered mine in Frank's.

This is very Hamburger Helper-esque. In fact, bf thought that is what I made for lunch. We have a box of HH in the cupboard that a roommate left and the pic is almost exactly the same! I chose it to use up some nacho cheese sauce, and I completely forgot to add the cheese packets to the mix. However, I really don't think they are needed--it is very cheesey already from the nacho cheese sauce. I subbed salsa verde for the green chiles. It was fine, but not something I would make on a normal basis. We aren't really HH fans. Thanks for the recipe!

Not bad for a quick meal! I added some garlic powder and cilantro to the recipe, and my husband and I both liked it.

This mac and cheese was pretty good, not great. Very quick and easy to prepare, though.

This was so simple and tasty. Family loved it. Did sub in rotel tomatoes for salsa, as we were out of salsa. Also added onion to meat.

Great recipe Pat! I wanted to use up the salsa and cheese dip I had left over from the weekend so I thought I'd give it a try. It was also one of the easiest dinners I've cooked in quite some time (hot dogs and fries aside). Everyone loved it and my son insists on having it again. Didn't change a thing - the recipe is fine the way it's written.

This just tasted too much like nacho dip. I will just stick with my mac-n-cheese adding a can of Rotel tomatoes to it.

Very quick and easy recipe - nothing gourmet, but very tasty too. I too was looking for a recipe for dinner that would have the things I had in the house already (its getting cold in the Midwest and I was not in a mood to shop), and this fit the bill perfectly. The only change I made was not to ad the green chilies - only because my salsa and Nacho cheese dip were spicy enough (and I didn't have them in the house.) Will definitely make again......... Thanks Pat for the recipe!

This was an awesome recipe!! I didn't have any onion flakes so I used a little onion salt and it was fine. The salsa gives it a really fresh flavor. Thanks for sharing!
