Delicious! I can actually have this great homestyle meal on my diet using ground sirloin, and I have missed so much having a dish like this. I wanted to, but didn't add any cheese, and realized that this is fabulous without it! I halved the recipe, but I did go ahead and add the 8 oz of tomato sauce because after adding half.....it just cried out for it!! (used no salt added tomato sauce). Just loved this....thanks Bakinbaby!

Made this almost as given, but did use slightly less cumin than called for! I also used fresh corn kernels from right off the cob, & the garlic cloves used were LARGE! The final touch was a sharp cheddar for me & the ol' parmesan for my other half! Will definitely keep hold of this recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]
