Finding new things to try is one of my top items as a new stay at home mom. I found this recipe on the Kraft website. My family approves it for 7years and up. It wasn’t nearly as big of a hit with the little ones but they eventually did eat most of it. As for the adults, it was amazing!I made some changes to the recipe myself.
- I didn’t have salsa. I used 4oz medium picante sauce and 12oz mild taco sauce.
- I added 1 can black beans, drained (Low sodium bush brand).
- We don’t usually have sharp cheddar around our house so I just used mild cheddar (Great Value Brand)
Based on how easy this was to throw together and how well it cooked up, this would be a great meal to prep ahead of time, freeze, and thaw and cook later. Definitely one to add to the “Baby is coming” Freezer meals.
