Overall, this turned out great! I also added 1 taco seasoning packet to the ground beef mixture, and I used about 2 1/2 cups of cheese total. I used a mix of shredded "taco cheese" (a blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby cheeses and spices) and shredded cheddar cheese. I used about 2 cups of cheese before baking and then added the rest about 5 minutes before removing the dish from the oven. This dish took me about an hour to prepare the first time and about 10 minutes to cool, so I would budget time accordingly. Thanks so much for thus great recipe!

I added crushed taco shells between the meat and veggie layers for a taco casserole! Something different and yummy!

Great recipe! Was a hit at a party we went to. I prefer "black" refried beans so I used them which may have given the dish a different flavor? I threw on a couple extra tomatoes, onions, olives & jalepeno slices too! Will definately make again.

This was good. I changed it up a little to suit our tastes. I used taco seasoning packet and tomato sauce instead of water for the taco meat, and I added chopped red pepper on top.

Took the suggestion from other reviewer and added 1 Tbls of taco seasoning to ground beef, and used Velveeta peperjack. Turned out wonderful! I have a electric fry pan w/a glass lid that you can flip around and use to keep food warm. Perfect size for this dip!!

It was alright---nothing spectacular. I think it needs more flavor--maybe adding some taco seasoning to the meat when you cook it? I'm not sure,but to me it seemed bland and all I tasted was the refried beans. I would also recommend using the shredded Velveta cheese instead of he cheddar because it just doesn't melt right. I don't think I'd make it again.

This was outstanding, the whole thing was gone when served at a Longaberger party. I used fat free refried beans and sour cream to make it a bit healthier. I also used part-skim cheese and it turned out great. I will make this again for the next party I attend.

This was very good. A few guests said it was too spicy for them and I used mild taco sauce. Another guest won't eat anything with sour cream in it. I will make this again but only do half with the jalapeno rings.
