TERRIFIC!!!! This was a nice different dish for my family as my son loves anything with olives and enjoys taco stuff. I cut back on the seasoning mix and onion, did not use the chilies, topped it with the cheese rather than cornbread and baked the cornbread separately, because sometimes my breads on top of casseroles don't get done all the way. Will make this again! Oh, and I made the recipe up to the olive part earlier in the day, baked, added the cheese, and made the cornbread at dinner time. Thanks for a great recipe!
