2018-12-16: first attempt. I used Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage instead of beef. Used Mexican cheese mix from Food City. This version rocked. 1/2 tsp and 1/2 tsp of pepper; that was too salty. Next time I'd try 1/4 tsp of salt. I made this in my glass casserole dish, which is not really as big as a standard 9x13.
