Delicious. I made a couple of changes. I added a half of an envelope of hot and spicy taco seasoning to meat mixture. Also used granulated onion instead of regular onion because my sister can not digest onion.

LOVED this recipe. The store was out of the large shells so I actually bought manicotti shells, which ended up being fun because they looked like enchiladas. Great flavor and so simple to make! Will definitely make again!
