This recipe is good as is. It was not too watery at all. It gives the impression that it will be watery and then after a 15 min simmer it is completely soaked up. I felt the amount of seasoning was fine using medium salsa. Perhaps some taco seasoning would have enhanced this, but I thought it was very flavorful as is.

Made this tonight with a few changes using what I had in the kitchen. I used 90/10 lean beef and added diced onions and peppers when cooking the beef. I used black bean and corn salsa and vodka sauce that was in the fridge already. threw in whole wheat shells and a can of corn and let it cook for about 12minutes. absolutely delicious. I read another review while I was cooking that mentioned black beans so I threw a can of those in as well. It turned out being pretty much "everything but the kitchen sink" pasta. It was a hit and not unhealthy at all. will definitely make again

The only reason for 4 instead of 5 spoons is that mine came out a little too tomato saucy for our tastes, but will definitely be making this again. I too, added a couple teaspoons of taco seasoning mix and it gave it just the right amount of punch for us.
