Super Nachos!

This recipe has been a favorite for a very long time. I mostly remember my mom making this on Christmas Eve and I always thought it was cool that I could have Doritos for dinner!

I made this for Valentine's Day this year and it felt like a fun and out of the ordinary dinner. The kids and my husband loved it! This would have also been a great party dish for the Super Bowl.

I like how pretty it is with the lettuce on top. My mom always used chopped tomatoes, green onion, olives around the perimeter and a big scoop of guacamole in the center with some sour cream on top of that. Very festive! And the fun thing....use the Doritos to scoop and eat!

Super Nachos


Ingredients:

1 lb of ground beef
1 packet of taco seasoning
water according to packet

1 can of bean dip (I use Frito's original or jalapeno)
1 can refried beans
1 cup Monterrey Jack cheese
1 cup Cheddar cheese

Shredded lettuce
Sliced olives
Fresh diced tomatoes
Chopped green onion
Guacamole
sour cream

1 bag nacho cheese flavored Doritos

Directions:

Brown your ground beef, drain and prepare with taco seasoning according to package.

Combine the bean dip and refried beans and spread on the bottom of a 9"x13" casserole dish. Layer prepared taco meat on top. Sprinkle cheeses on top.

Place in oven a 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes until cheese is browned and bubbly.

Arrange lettuce, tomatoes, onion and olives around perimeter of casserole dish.

Serve with Doritos, guac and sour cream.

  13. Nachos are a huge favorite with us as well! I really should make them more often since it's easy to sneak in some healthy ingredients w/o the kids actually realizing it!
