This is great for single dads wanting to make something quick and hearty for the kids. We are a vegetarian home so I use Boca Crumbles instead of meat and black beans in place of the kidney beans. Good Stuff!

This is one of my go-to staples, it's quick, easy and delicious! I use black instead of kidney beans, and I also use a bit more salsa than required, about 24 oz. I've made this so many times that I realized it is better with those two changes. I serve with some of that knorr easy to make taco rice, some sour cream for those who like it, and done. It's always a hit. This used to be printed on the taco bake kit boxes, but lately it hasn't been. It's a shame because it's better than the standard taco bake!
