  • “This recipe is delicious and a real keeper. I used chicken instead of ground beef. I cut 4 skinless and boneless breasts into small bite size pieces and also used 3 cups of salsa instead of 2. Other than those changes, I followed the recipe exactly. Yum yum. Thanks a bunch for sharing. “

  • “Love the recipe,will make again with a couple changes.I will cut in half,and still have the left overs,and use 1/4 to 1/2 red bell pepper.I didn’t bother to blend the salsa in the blender,as we like chunky salsa.Thanks for the recipe ~Lisa~ :0)”

  • “Very simple and yummy. I didn’t have the red bell peppers on hand so I substituted a 1/2 a cup of corn relish instead. Topped with fresh guacamole and sour cream. Absolutely delish!”

  • “Really great and easy!Thanks for the quick recipe!”

  • “This was beyond good!I loved it. I topped mine with sour cream, black olives, corn relish, and lettuce.I let it cool for 5 mins or so before topping it so not to wilt the lettuce. This is definately a keeper.”

  • “I added a little more of everything. I like a hearty casserole. Thanks LisaDawn in Michigan”

  • “Just what I was looking for! Very easy & tasty.I followed the recipe exactly except I left out the red pepper (I like them but they don’t like me) & the green chilies (I am a bit of a wimp). I used my mini processor on “Zesty Salsa for Canning” #97428. The cheese I had on hand was Mexican Four Cheese Blend & it worked great.I will make this again.Thank you Lisa!”

  • “hubby adored this!”

  • “Excellent recipe!I made this casserole for dinner last night and my family loved it.I made it exactly as written except for blending the salsa – I didn’t want to take the time and the texture was fine.I plan to use a little less red bell pepper next time – it was a little spicy for me, but still great!Thanks for sharing, Lisa!”
