BEST Recipe I have made in a while!!! Baked at 350 for 40 minutes then put the cheese on top and baked until melted. An easier way to fill the shells, as it is very messy with a spoon, is to cut the corner off of a ziplock bag and pipe it into the shells, just piping frosting on a cake.

This was really really good. I used a cheese taco flavored seasoning (can't remember which brand, maybe McCormick or Lawry's?) and a half can of black beans (drained and rinsed) instead of refried since they were open in my fridge. I topped this with some PepperJack as I didn't have enough Cheddar once I finished the filling. I used Julio's brand medium salsa in the jar. (It's a Texas product) We loved this and I will definitely fix this again! Thanks Jennifer for a wonderful filling meal.

Used 6 servings of Seasoning For Tacos for the taco seasoning. This was a pretty good recipe. I like the mixture of ground beef and refried beans. Also, I ran out of Cheddar cheese after the 3/4 cup so I replaced the 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese topping with Fiesta Blend cheese.

These were very good! The kids loved them. I did not add the refried beans to the meat mixture instead I added chopped an onion and added into the beans and spread on the bottom of the shells, then added the rest of the ingredients. Very good dish! Thanks.

My kids loved this! I doubled it and still didn't have enough! I put out lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, extra salsa and sour cream for the kids to put on top if they wanted. I may try it as a "lasagna" next time, just to save myself time. Thanks for the great recipe, the kids told me to not forget this one!

these were amazingly good. I made them for a potluck dinner and they were the first pan emptied. It looked as though the pan had been licked clean. Since I doubled the recipe, I did make a couple of changes.I used both the regular and hot taco mix, and mild and medium salsa mixed together, since I didn't know the "spice" level of the group. They were excellent. Thank you for a wonderful and tasty recipe. I made them early in the day, a heated them in a 300F oven for an hour. Took a guess at the oven temp as I couldn't find it in the recipe and that worked just fine.

Such a good recipe!!! My family couldn't get enough of it. I substituted the re fried beans for regular baked beans in a tomato sauce, cut up onion and cooked it with the ground beef. Also I took it out after 30 minutes and sprinkled shredded cheese over top and baked for another 5-6 minutes. Will make this again and suggest this to any family that loves a Mexican twist on pasta!
