Yeah, the picture looks great, and I was looking for comfort food and something fun for the family. However as I mixed together the beans and meat it looked like...something inedible. I felt bad serving it to my sons, who ate it politely. Sorry. I think traditional nachos are the way to go. Potatoes don't have the same *crunch* no matter how long you roast them. The hot bean and meat mixture makes the potatoes soft and indistinguishable. It's like beans on top of giant beans with bits of ground beef here and there. Get the picture? Keeping the beans and beef separated might improve the recipe. In addition, I'd nix the taco seasoning, and add just a little chili powder and salt to the ground beef.

Delicious. Very versatile. Use parchment paper to avoid the potatoes sticking. Buy organic potatoes, wash, and do NOT peel for additional nutrition or substitute sweet potatoes. No guacamole so simply used avocado slices. I liked a little more meat in the dish, increase to 3/4 lb. Needs much more than 1/4 cup lettuce and definitely use salsa as topping.

These were pretty good, very filling. I think were a lot of effort for some that tastes good but also tastes so simple. I'll make them again when i feel like making the time for them.

Great recipe when I had some potatoes I needed to use up. Will be a good one when my grandson comes to spend a few weeks here in the summer. I did add some onion to ground meat.

This was great! I added a little smoked chipotle seasoning and garlic powder to the potatoes and turned them half way through. The beauty of it is, you can add the toppings you like. I added black olives and onions. LOVED IT!

Really good! I used homemade taco seasoning which takes only 2 minutes to make and has no msg or chemicals. This recipe also works well with yams subbed in for the potatoes.
