I modified a nachos recipe I found, and my family loves it! It is now a regular at all of our parties or any time we're craving nachos. —Denise Wheeler, Newaygo, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 package (13 ounces) tortilla chips
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1 jar (15-1/2 ounces) salsa con queso dip
  • 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh chives, optional
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook and crumble beef over medium heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes; drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. In an ungreased 13x9-in. baking pan, layer a third each of the chips, beans, beef mixture and queso dip. Repeat layers twice.
  3. Bake, uncovered, until heated through, 10-15 minutes. Top with tomatoes, and chives if desired; serve immediately with sour cream on the side.
