I tried this for the first time last night. I wanted to cut the recipe in half so I only used 1 pound of ground meat and I substituted ground turkey for ground beef. I also only used 2 eggs instead of 3, but I kept all the other quantities and amounts the same. It turned out really good and I will definitely be making this again for our weekly "Mexican Night".

This is very good and very easy. I found the recipe a few months ago and it has become a staple supper at our house. It's also great to take to potlucks.
