This is a great recipe. Really good, really fast. It wasn't THE BEST, but it was nice.

This is one of my favorite mexican-themed casseroles. Who doesn't love crossaints? It is easily adaptable to fit anyone's preferences. You can add corn, crushed corn chips, beans, really anything you like. I've made this several different ways now and haven't been disappointed yet. *Updated* This is how we like it best. Crescent rolls in a 9x13, topped with a cup of sour cream mixed with a cup of salsa. Next layer is mexican rice (from this site). Then is the meat browned with onion, mixed with taco seasoning and a can or two of rotele. Next are the black olives. Top with monterey jack/cheddar cheese and whatever leftover tostitos I can find. Delicious!

This was very easy and very tasty! I read the reviews and mixed 2 tbls sour cream with a can of refried beans and used that for the sour cream layer. Topped with black olives, lettuce & tomatoes. Husband loved it!!! Thank you!

I liked the "base" recipe but the recipe as written was not all that appealing to me so I made several modifications. I added black beans and corn, as well as mixing in salsa with the sour cream. I used half a bag of chips and added fresh avocado and tomato. I don't know that this will be in my regular rotation, but will likely make again.

The best thing about this site is that it gives you the base recipe and then you can alter it to your own personal preference! Instead of ground beef I used ground chicken. I did not use the taco seasoning but instead added a can of reduced fat cream of mushroom soup, chopped mild green chiles, diced tomatoes, onions and garlic salt & pepper to taste. I used about 4 oz. of lowfat sour cream and unsalted tortilla chips. It came out really good and surprisingly the whole family enjoyed it. Thanks for Stephanie!

Delicious and easy. My husband said it was even better than his mom's version of a taco pie. Stills tastes great as leftovers, too. Will definitely make again.

Excellent, easy recipe. My kids are very picky, and they loved it. It is so simple to make for those of us who are working moms and don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. I did reduce the sour cream and mixed it in with the beef mixture due to the pickiness of my kids.

Added some chopped onions and pepper while cooking the beef, then mixed salsa with the sour cream before baking. It was okay, nothing special.

I added a layer of refried beans to the base of the pie, then layered the ground beef, onion, and cheese. Omitted the chips to reduce the sodium, and served salsa and sour cream on the side.

Great recipe! What I did instead of sour cream, because my husband and I both do not care for it, I used taco sauce, then the meat, chips and cheese...great dish thanks for sharing!

Great! I will say that spraying the bottom of the glass dish worked very, very well. I also added regular taco toppings;after the meat, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, crushed tortilla chips, then a little bit more cheese. My husband & kids want me to make this again, & I will.

I've made this several times now and my family really likes it. We use ground turkey instead of beef (personal preference) and use about 1/4 of the tortillas on top. I add black olives to the top. I've tried it both ways and like mixing the sour cream with the meat instead of layering a little better. Thanks for the great recipe!

This recipe was really good. I did make a couple of changes, and plan on making it again with a couple more changes. I added a layer of refried beans first before adding the taco meat. The next time I am going to make cheese dip to pour over instead of shredded cheese because I thought it was a bit dry, but it was still very very good. My kids even loved it. I put some salsa verde over it, yummy. Thanks for the great recipe!

Not quite as good as I thought it would be...I mixed 2 TBS. of sour cream with refried beans (as another reviewer recommended) and put it over the meat. I used a 14 oz. bag of lightly salted chips but thought that was too much. Also, this dish didn't make good leftovers since the chips lose their crispness.
