Am I the only one who had a soggy layer of mushy chips on the bottom? Everyone in my family complained about it. I followed the instructions exactly except substituted salsa for the tomatoes with chilies. I even used lean ground sirloin. It had a good flavor, but mush on the bottom.

This recipe was DEEElicious! It won the approval of my entire family, which is no small feat! I followed the recipe except for the following: I only had one pound of ground beef, and I added one can of Cream of Mushroom soup to cut the spicy-ness. I put a little dollop of sour cream on top and served it with a green salad and some dessert, and it was PERFECT! The recipe is now going to be in a permanent spot in my recipe book and will be used for church potlucks as well as for a regular meal in our family home.

I made some changes to this recipe.. but i used it as a base. I used 90% lean ground beef, added onion, 3 cloves garlic, green bell pepper, fresh diced tomatoes, red kidney beans, black beans, and taco seasoning. I layered the meat mixture, shredded cheddar/monterey jack cheese and tortillas ending with cheese on top in a 9x13 pan. Served with sour cream, salsa, and tortilla chips on the side. I knew it was a hit when they went back for 3rds.

Was very good. I changed it a bit to what I had on hand. I used a can of enchilada sauce and a bit more water. I added a little cumin, mexican oregano, and chili powder. It was great and it will satisfy my cravings for mexican. I served with salsa and sour cream. I would have added shredded lettuce to the plate too, but didn't have any. Thanks for the recipe.

Thanks for sharing this speedy, economical and tasty recipe! If my very picky sister eats something you KNOW it's good! My husband said "Dinner was amazing!" I did modify the recipe to use what we had on hand...marble cheese, 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes with herbs and spices (undrained), 1 pound ground beef. Omitted water because of the tomato juice. Been craving heat so I added a VERY generous amount of crushed red pepper flakes and fresh black pepper. Simply a great simple dinner idea. Definitely serve with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, additional cheese and maybe shredded lettuce. Oh, and although I used store brand tortilla chips (just as good as the brand name ones I think) I did serve this with a handful of Doritos Cool Ranch on the side, just to change up the flavor a bit. I will be making this at least once a month--when the pantry stock is low or when I don't have the time (or desire) to prep a big meal. I was going to add onions because my husband is an onion addict and normally mentions that "this would be excellent with onions" but I didn't and I must say it was nice not to have them for a change. :)

Very good! We were craving tacos but didn't have taco shells or tortillas, his dish satisfied the craving! I scaled it down to fit an 8x8 dish since it's just the two of us. Other than that the only thing I changed was I forgot to put in the sour cream so I just served it with a dollop on tops and garnished with sliced green onions. Will definately become a regular in the menu rotation!

I have tried several different recipes for Taco Bake when I found this one. My family loved it! Even the kids, and you know how picky they can be. The only thing that I changed was that I had some salsa and put a layer of salsa on the first layer. Next time, I am going to use the smaller tortilla chips because it was a little hard to cut through the bottom tortillas. I also put an extra layer of sour cream on the layers. This is the recipe that I will keep though. It was a huge hit!

i used ground chicken in place of the beef, like i do all my taco dishes. left out the sour cream and used 1/2 a 18 oz bag of fritos scoops. it was a nice change from regular tacos. my 3 y/o didnt care for the chips she just ate the meat.

This was delicious. I did do a few changes. Added 2 cans of the diced tomatoes and chilis. Added onions and put a pack and 1/2 of taco seasoning and then used taco doritos.

This recipe is so great! I was a little skeptical of the sour cream but I loved it! I did improvise a little....used our favorite salsa instead of canned tomatoes and added corn and black beans. Overall, outstanding! i will be making this again!

We all liked this, I did add a can of black beans and sliced black olives, I also used the taco season recipe from this site not a packet. Served with shredded lettuce, sour cream, diced tomatoes, and salsa. There are 5 of us and there were lots of left overs.

I made this last night for a quick and easy taco dinner. I did not drain the tomatoes and instead omitted the water. The chips soaked up a lot of the moisture, so they were a little soggy, but it made them taste a bit like a tamale, so it wasn't all bad. My family enjoyed it, even my picky six-year-old daughter finished seconds. We always serve this type of dish with lettuce, cheese, sour cream and salsa on top. This particular dish didn't stand out in my opinion, but it was something different and easy and I'll definitely make it again. Thanks!
