* I loved that I could make this in advance and not have to worry about making dinner. It tasted great and we all ate it up :) I think that if I made it again I would add some lettuce and maybe some tortilla chips to give it some crunch. I give it a 4 on the scale.

* This was great leftovers also on day two the casserole was not so runny and the flavors blended well.
