This was very good,i did add more garlic and used Mexican style tinned tomatoes and added 2 finely chopped serano chillis.I also sprinkled a little cayenne pepper over the top as a garnish prior to putting in the oven.

My family really liked this recipe. For adults, a can of rotel tomatoes might spice it up a bit, if you like spicy foods. We will definitely make this one again.

This was sooo good. I added alittle extra cheese, garlic powder, and fresh ground pepper to the topping. Also I cooked it in the microwave uncovered. I had some of the meat mixture left over and plan to make open faced burritos with cheese and salsa.

We like spicey, so I used Rotel canned tomatoes. There was no juice in the mixture, so added 1 smallest can tomato sauce and 1 more TAB chili powder. It was very tasty, but topping didn't firm up. It didn't brown and was mushy. What did I do wrong?

The recipe didn't turn out good for me.I just used the topping on top of my chili,so maybe that made a difference.It seemed to need a thicked and more firm texture.
