  1. We ate this last night and there was nothing left. The recipie says it will feed 8, but I still think it is a little light and 6 is more realistic. Although that included my daughter having thirds!

  2. I agree with Susan, the 5 of us finished this off with no problem. It would be difficult to feed 8. It was good, but I think I might try adding taco seasoning to the meat before mixing it all in for a little more Mexican flavor. We all like spicy food though, so that might not be for everyone.

  4. yum!!! Wouldn't change a thing. It is definitely not a company dish seeing as when you look at it it has that "has someone already ate this?" look about it. It tastes great though.
