This is a great recipe for a potluck or party. It's easy to make ahead of time and it always disappears quickly. I usually double the recipe so I have plenty of leftovers.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ground beef. I also like to add a can of black beans or corn for extra flavor and nutrition.
