I've been using this recipe for quite awhile now. My boyfriend wants it every week. I have started adding a bit more green chilies, but otherwise, it is perfect as is.

I remade this again, only this time I made a couple changes. I used fresh anaheim chiles (and threw in 2 pasilla chiles for some heat) since these chiles are often used for chile rellenos anyway. I also used buttermilk, seasoned salt, and the mexican blend of 4 cheeses available in a packet pre-grated. I also threw in half a packet of taco seasoning to the beef after browning and draining it, which I thought added some nice flavor. As before, thanks again!

Quick, easy, deliciousness! I've made this several times now and there has never been a bite leftover. It's great as written, but amenable to variation. I've also made it with leftover chili instead of the meat/onion mixture. It's also good with corn or hominy added. We like it served with sour cream and salsa.

I wanted to make something quick and easy, but also tasty for supper and this was all of the above. The boys and I unanimously voted this a winner. I added some chopped jalapenos to the bottom layer.

I've been wanting to make this and am very glad I did so tonight! After reading a few others reviews I did season the meat with a little taco seasoning and used a 7 ounce can of green chilies. Hubby was thrilled and had 2 huge plates of this. Served with hominy and black beans. Very good dish Star - you did your Mom proud by posting this one! Thanks for sharing.
