I remember this dish from my grandmas home!!! what sweet memories! this looks easy to make I will try it ASAP! is the sirloin like ground beef? and do I drain fat out?

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the comment,Yes sirloin is ground beef,it has a lower fat content so healthier. usually you will not have a lot of fat to drain, so I just sop it up with a towel .

I made this today and it is AMAZING! I stay away from foods that are spicy so my diet is very bland and simple. But for whatever reason, this recipe called to me. I don't eat meat that much but I used it because I wanted to stick to the recipe. It tastes awesome but next time I will use ground tofu instead of the beef.

Hi do you cook the shells first?

I made this today but it was bland. I added extra spices (garlic, onion powder, chili powder, etc) and got it tasting pretty good. I live in LA (Lower Alabama) so we are used to a few extra spices. Thanks for the basic recipe.

I made this and added chicken chorizo for the spice flavor without adding the chili power and cayenne power. Worked out very well! I also added kale because I always have to add a green leafy vegetable.

Great job adding kal

I was making this and had a couple unexpected people show up and needed it to stretch farther a can of rinsed and drained black beans and a can of corn was a perfect addition!
