This dish is perfect for nights when you are in a hurry. The taste is great...a real kid pleaser. I often keep ground beef in the freezer that has been cooked with Mexican seasonings. I now have another recipe that will put it to good use. We did make one slight change in the cooking of the recipe, and that was to use a 1/2 cup of sour cream in place of the mayonnaise. We will definitely make this dish again.
