Taco Bell Loaded Nachos Cravings Kit, 12.8 oz Box

My kid and his friends are obsessed with Taco Bell, and they like to cook, so one day when my kid's friend was over we got out this kit for them to try. They are 14 and were able to handle this on their own, with adult supervision while using the stove. You have to supply the ground beef (or whatever meat you prefer), and the kit contains the seasonings, chips, taco bell sauce and cheese. They also added chopped lettuce, sour cream and tomatoes to the finished product. It's a fun kit for a quick and easy meal or snack. Would I buy it again? Maybe, maybe not, as we generally have tortilla chips and queso already in the house, as well as taco seasoning. But was it fun? Yes, super fun and the end result was delicious.

I actually really enjoyed this kit! Chips were thin and there isn't too much in there, but just enough that this is a good meal for 2 as main dish, if side maybe a few more. Note you need 1lb of ground beef for this and they provide the seasoning for the beef in this kit. I would also highly recommend you add your own beans, so having ground beef and beans on hand is what you will need for this. Adding tomatoes or some veggies would also be great as everything is pretty salty. Ground beef seasoning in particular is very very salty, so do not go less than 1lb for this recipe, if anything add more! There was plenty of cheese for the nachos. I went the baking route instead of microwave and it came out nicely. Overall for the price, not bad and fun.

This is way overpriced for what's included and it's salty, salty and did I say it was salty? The seasoning mix, the cheese sauce and salsa were all very salty. After making / assembling the dish and after a few bites, I ended up throwing it all away. I don't like to throw food away but it was too salty for my partner and I to eat. I have purchased other taco bell kits that were OK, but not this one.

They are quality great tasting but for the price not the greatest value. They were packed well with great flavor and seemed fresh enough

Perhaps it is just me, or the portion sizes that my family and I enjoy, but this is more of a side dish than a main. I do like nachos more than the average person, so take that with a grain of salt! The kit was really easy to make and everything tasted wonderful. I enjoyed all of the included ingredients - all you have to do is provide the protein - you can enjoy it with beans if you do not want to add meat. I loved that there was an option to go vegetarian if wanted. I also could have had a lot more chips included, but again - that's just me!
