One of many who grew up on this as an Adventist. I don't eat it with carrot, but it does work with pretty much anything you happen to have on hand. I find that regular corn chips (fritos) work a lot better than tortilla chips. Read More

These were okay but we missed the beef we thought should be here. This was basically a vegetarian taco salad. 3 stars as written maybe with taco meat half as many beans (Ranch style preferred) some crisp corn and a little more heat/spice... but a very versatile recipe and can be adjusted to your own liking. This would be great when camping out. A great base to start with! Read More

I make this a lot. And I mean A LOT. I use black beans that I've cooked myself homemade taco seasoning and sometimes I'll add shredded carrots in with the bean mixture. You can really make this stretch with a can of tomato sauce a drained can of mexi-corn Rotel tomatoes and a half pound of ground beef if you have heavyweights at your table or just a lot of family to feed.

Haystacks have been my favorite recipe since I was a kid (I still request them for my birthday suppers) - We use a good chili instead of just beans and also sometimes put guacamole ranch dressing pickles onions and many other toppings. There are no limits. YUM. Read More
