so easy and yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been making a version of this for years that my mom made when i was a kid. I add in Kidney beans or you can add any... other kind of bean and i use the meat also. I use fritos for the corn chips. I do not like that kind of dressing and so i use ranch and i don't mix it in. Just let everyone pour in there own bowl. Sometimes i make a avacodo ranch. and sometimes i use green oinions instead of othere. But this is the easiest recipe! Read more

Not your best, Paula.
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I have to first say that we are big fans of Paula Deen, but this recipe was a disaster. I think that they must have fantastic... lighting in that kitchen studio, because this salad looked just great on tv. When we made it, though, I think we knew things had taken a turn for the worse when the whole thing took on a sickly pinkish hue after adding the Catalina dressing. I realize that I could have made some modifications, omitted the dressing etc., but as I said it looked great on tv and her recipes usually never miss. Definitely will NOT be making this one again.
