It tastes exactly how you would expect it to--like salsa, sour cream, and beef on pasta. I wouldn't call it stroganoff--it's more like noodle nachos. If it's this or Hamburger Helper, though, this is perfectly good stuff.

Quick, good, and easy. My husband liked it a lot and actually ate too much. A good meal to fix if you're in a hurry.

We loved it. Super easy and fresh tasting dinner! I sprinkled shredded cheddar over the top while still in the skillet and put the lid on for a minute or two to melt just before serving. YUMMM and I had the leftovers for lunch the next day and of course it was even better!
