Yum! Like eating a baked potato with chili on it. I had to sub the stewed tomatoes with diced tomatoes. Some of the potatoes didn't get totally tender; perhaps it needs to be stirred half-way through? Total comfort food, though. Thanks!! -
Needed something super simple for a busy night. This was it. Delicious, filling and so easy to throw together. I have loved boxed au gratin potatoes ever since I was a child. Nice way to use them.

I thought this was pretty tasty. The only differences were that I used diced tomatoes and some tomato sauce instead of stewed tomatoes, ground turkey instead of beef and I added kidney beans. I also screwed up and dumped a packet of fajita seasoning into the mix instead of taco seasoning but it was FANTASTIC. I also agree with a previous review that this should be stirred halfway through baking to make sure that the potatoes cook through. But, all in all, everyone in the house loved it. We'll be making it again! -
This was easy to throw together however not the most beautiful looking dish. I subbed black beans for the meat to make this a vegetarian dish and omitted the extra cheese to make it healthier. Not a wow but definitely did the job of filling my husband up. Thanks! -

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I have two boys Eddie 18 and Brandon 10. I have been with my hubby for 16 years. I work full time outside the home and my boys keep me busy at home. Eddie is a singer and base guitar player in a band and Brandon races go karts. We also have a Collie/Beagle mix named Sugar.
I love to cook and try out new recipes. My family likes it too but at times ask my to make just "normal" food, as I forget sometimes to make my own TNT recipes.
I cook a lot with with my crock pot as it makes life a lot easier for me. I am always on the look out for new crock pot recipes.
I'm not much of a baker as I don't like to measure things.
I collect cookbooks and recipes in general. I usually start with a recipe and tweak to my families liking.
My Rating System:
5 Stars = The whole family enjoyed the dish and it will be added to my TNT cookbook. Book #220911. These recipes will be made again and again.
4 Stars = Recipe was good, but needed some modifications or it was good but not something we would want on a regular basis. Also goes into my TNT-4 star recipe cookbook. Book #220912
3 Stars = It was edible, but won't be made again.
2 Stars = Needs some kind of major adjustments.
1 Stars = Inedible, didn't work, waste of ingredients.
