Nachos Grande

Nachos Grande

On our way to Florida for a cruise, in an airport somewhere, my husband and I shared a big plate of nachos...hello Nachos Grande!  With ground beef, beans and real cheese, I like to think these are the "healthy" kind of nachos.  Of course these are always a family favorite.

15 ounce can chili beans

1 lb. ground beef

15 ounces favorite salsa

Cheddar cheese

Guacamole, sour cream, green chilies, chopped tomato and olives

Bag tortilla chips

In large non-stick frying pan brown ground beef.  Stir in salsa and chili beans and heat thoroughly.  Create a layer of tortilla chips on the bottom of a large oven proof bowl or platter.  Top with grated cheddar cheese and beef and bean mixture.  Add another layer of tortilla chips, cheese and beef and bean mixture.  Repeat layers in a pyramid type fashion.  Heat in 350 degree oven until cheese melts.  Top with a few scoops of guacamole and sour cream, green chilies, olives and chopped tomato if you like.
