Yummy and really simple to make. I didnt have refried beans on hand, so I skipped it, but it turned out fine as well!

This is a nice, basic recipe that has become a regular at our house. It's very easy to put together and uses ingredients I tend to have on hand most of the time. Thanks for the addition to my menu choices when I'm meal planning!

I'm just begining to learn how to cook (yesterday was the first time I ever browned ground beef). I tried this recipe out tonight and loved it. An easy one for the novice cook.
