Nacho Casserole

I've had a few people ask if I've made any good recipes lately, so I thought I'd post this.

My mother-in-law came down after we had Hudson and baked some casseroles for us to freeze and it was such a huge relief to have those on the crazy, fussy, "how on earth am I going to cook" nights! I love this casserole - super yummy!

Here goes:

1 tbs vegetable oil

1 cup chopped onion

1 tsp minced garlic

1 1/2 lbs ground beef

1 15 oz can tomato sauce

1 8 oz can tomato sauce

1 can red kidney beans

2 cups shredded cheddar

1 bag taco chips

1/2 cup salsa

1/2 cup chopped scallions

1 packet taco seasoning mix

Directions:

Saute onion and garlic in oil over medium heat. Add beef; mix and stir until brown. Drain. Stir in tomato sauce, taco seasoning. Remove from heat. Rinse and drain kidney beans in strainer. Toss with 1 cup of cheese. Grease shallow 2 qt. casserole. Line bottom with layer of taco chips. Layer cheese and bean mixture over chips. Spread meat mixture. Top with chips. Drizzle salsa and top with cheese and scallions. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
