This is a very easy and quick recipe. I have made it several times and my entire family loves it. I always have the ingredients on hand and love that everything is in one pot for less dishes to wash! It is a full meal deal, delicious!

Awesome dish- I add 2 cups medium salsa and add some thick cut green onion in when adding the macaroni. I use sharp cheddar flavour KD. I added a tin of kernal corn- niblets- very tasty and a quick meal

Easy to make but I found it to be very "processed" looking and tasting. I used mixed vegetables instead of just the corns and I'm glad that I did to add some color to the dish.

My boyfriend and I loved it! Was even enough that we were able to have it for lunch the next day. Will be making it in the future again soon.

I added taco seasoning for a spicy kick!

I have a large family, so I doubled the recipe. I did find I was adding extra water along the way, keeping in mind we will have leftovers. I only had 1 cup of salsa, so I added a tin of tomatoes. I added onions, green peppers, fresh mushrooms, and grated cheese. Fresh garlic, italian herbs, and a splash of hot sause, chili powder. After I cooked it, I transfered it over to a casserole dish and topped it with more cheese and green onions. Very delicious.

Making it a second time in a week tonight. This time, we will use green peppers instead of corn, and leave the green onions off. That should satisfy all my "picky" eaters.

Really easy to make, especially since the ingredients are already in the cupboard. I gave this recipe to my brother when he moved across the country, and he, too, loves it!

Delicious! I added chili powder to the water and I also added a little to some grated mozzerella cheese because I didn't have the Tex Mex kind. It was super yummy and quite zippy! My husband loved it. The corn adds a really nice element of sweetness to the spicy. Next time I think I'll add some green or red peppers too. YUM-O!
