A dollop of sour cream or guacamole will really top off this dish!

    My family loved this. My husband is super picky. He had no idea this was a hamburger helper based meal until he saw the box in the trash.

    My family really enjoyed this recipe. We all said it was like glorified taco salad. The beans and rice give it a little extra nutritional value. I mixed up the recipe a bit and used yellow tortilla chips to "dip" into the meat/bean/rice/veggie mixture...kind of like nachos. Very yummy! Even warms up great the next day.
