I didn't have any taco seasoning, so I used lots of chili powder (I do like spicy), a bit of onion and garlic powders and a touch of oregano. I used wide egg noodles instead of bow-ties and threw in some diced green onions and diced fresh tomato that needed to be used. What can I say, gotta clean the fridge, LOL! OK, I'm Canadian, so I used old Canadian cheddar instead of the Jack cheese. Did I mention that I do things like this to any recipe I try? Anyway, it was great. I'll definitely keep this one! Thanks

What a simple, easy, and tasty casserole! I whipped this casserole up prior to leaving for soccer practice, and popped it into the oven when we got home. This is a nice hearty casserole with lots of flavorful meat. There is just enough cheese mixed with the noodles to bind them together so that you can serve it in slices like lasagna. The only changes that I made to the recipe were to add 1/2 cup of finely diced onion, and to use shredded cheddar cheese (didn't have monterey jack cheese). My DH loved the bow-tie noodles for a nice big bite of noodle but not like having a lasagna noodle. Thanks so much for sharing, this is a keeper in our house!

Great kid-pleasing casserole! I didn't have bowties, so I used mafalda ("baby lasagna noodles"), and used mild cheddar instead of Monterey Jack cheese. Everything else I did as written. I sprinkled a little cilantro on top before baking. This was a delicious, simple dinner that I will make again. Thanx for posting this.
