One Pan Taco Skillet

I'm liking these recipes that use only 1 pan!  Oh YEAH!  Usually when I make dinner, I seem to dirty WAY TOO MANY DISHES.  It really is a joke.  So when I saw this recipe....I had to try it.  And guess what, all my kids thanked me for dinner.  They liked it.  That is a miracle really.  I found the recipe on SixSistersStuff blog. You can find the recipe HERE along with many other great recipes.  I had my kids use chips or fritos to scoop it up and eat.  They loved it!
