My family loved this dish! Of course, it was rich (beef, cheese, sour cream), so we made some veggie smoothies as an "appetizer". My youngest daughter (7yo) liked the variety of the cheezy layer on top. I used about 2/3 to 3/4 of the chili powder and mild salsa, and her sensitive palate was fine spice-wise. I replaced 16oz of canned corn with a 16oz bag of frozen corn, which made the corn sweeter and more distinct. Like others, I also used sliced black olives on top instead of chopped tomatoes. We'll be doing this one again!

This was pretty good. I made a few changeds because either personal taste or lack of ingredients. I added a can of green chilis, because we like it pretty hot. I only had half of the sour cream, and no fresh tomatoes, so I used canned. Came out pretty good, did have to add more hot sauce and salsa because it was a little dry. My husband said it was more like a nacho topper than anything.

This is the very first recipe I tried from allrecipes, and it has become one of our favorites. Since it is just my husband and me, I halve the recipe. I halve all the ingredients except for the cheese and chips which I don't measure, I just crush/sprinkle what I need as I go. I omit the tomato, and it fills out a 8x8 casserole dish perfectly. Then I bake according to the recipe.

I made this recipe for a family at my church who had just had a new baby, and it made such a huge batch that I made a smaller pan of it for my husband and me also. Everyone loved it! It was easy and used ingredients I had on hand. My husband isn't a huge bean fan, but he still ate this up and was greedy for more!

It was ok. It took a long time to make, the portion was huge, it was messy, and a waste of chips. The majority of it is still in my fridge.

Very good. I had some taco meat that in the freezer, mixed in the corn and beans, some leftover sour cream and a random amount of salsa; and layered as described. Rave reviews from the pool party. So easy I'll do again and again.

The flavor of this dish is really good but it dried out fast. I would make this again but I would skip the crushed tortilla chips. People are going to dip the chips in this dish, I don't think you need double chips. Leftovers were good in a burrito :)

This was awesome. I made it in a rush one night after work, and my hubby and a few of his friends devoured it. It makes the family rotation.

Good stuff! The only problem I ran across was that I forgot to add the second can of beans into the meat mixture. I didn't realize until I was working on the last layer. I just mixed in a whole can with what little meat mixture I still had and spooned it on top. No one was the wiser and it tasted great!

This was pretty boring. Unfortunately, I didn't have any taco seasoning, so instead I added more garlic and chili powder, and also some ground cumin. This improved it a little but it was still pretty blah. I wouldn't make this again. Thanks anyway.
