My husband and DD, age 3, both loved this... I thought it was a little bland. I used corn and added a little garlic when browning the meat. My family will want this one again- thanks!

My family did not enjoy this dish. The children ate a few bites and opted for PB&J and the Husband and I found it to be OK but not great. I won't be making it again. It didn't have a great deal of flavor and the mixing of the foods was unapealing to the kids. I think adding cheese would be a great idea and be generous with the salt and pepper. It is worth a try.

Well this was a huge hit in this house! very easy, only thing I messed up on was not thawing the corn first, but it made no difference. This is very tasty.

I cannot believe how tasty this was! I thought I was making a "kid pleaser" but DH and I ended up loving it too! Quick and simple. I added shredded cheese on top for the last 5 min of cooking as we are big cheese lovers. Thanks so much for posting!
