Just cooked and it was really good. I added more seasoning and onions and garlic when I browned the meat . I also changed the corn for the southwest style with black beans in it and it made a difference.

Made this last night for dinner. I thought it was pretty good. A little bland so I added some more spices and jalapenos. Hubby thought it was good , he had 3 servings!! I made real mashed potatoes ( we don't do the packaged stuff)
