With the taco seasoning it turned out really great. The only thing was I had to add 5 extra min of cooking time. I ended up shredding the cheese instead of cubing it.

Will make these using my own taco spice mixture instead of cayenne. Sounds great for Adkins.

I made these and they where delicious! Came out a lot messier than I expected but I am also an amateur cook.

Reduced fat cheese is higher in carbs than regular cheese which is 1 gram of carbs per oz. When you put the meat around the cheese, and they cool, they taste like a cold blob of fat. Grating the cheese into the meat would make the meat more moist, since you are not using bread crumbs.

I made these the other night for dinner and I thought they were AMAZING! I don't eat much red meat so I subsituted the beef for ground turkey. I served them with Pineapple-Peach salsa - very nice! Totally something I would make again!

Nice portable snack or part of a meal. Way too much cayenne for our tastes though...used a lot less. I agree with reeneejune and used chili powder and added some cumin and a little cayenne.

They were good, but it seems like an awful lot of cayenne. I made this with 1/2 lb beef, 1 egg, and 1 tsp. cayenne and it was much too hot. Pehaps chili powder instead?

WOW! Had these for tea, finished and had to rush to computer to tell everyone how deeelish these are. My whole family loved them. I added my own sauce which is a tin of tomatoes, 1 tsp sweetener, 2 beef stock cubes, 200 ml water and you can add some sun dried tomatoes if you wish. Stick it all in a pan, heat through and away you go!!
