I was not sure about this recipe because no one has rated it yet. We just had it tonight for supper and it was simply delicious. The flavors blend together so well. The only change I did from the recipe was I put 2 full cups (8 oz.) of Colby cheese on the top at the end and I didn't put the tortilla chips on top. Other than that, I followed it exactly and it was out of this world. Will definitely make again.
