Mexican Beef Supreme Food

NACHOS SUPREME

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup if desired.
• In a large skillet or non-stick frying pan heat the olive oil to medium-high temperature. Once shimmering and just beginning to smoke, add the diced white onion and saute for 2-3 minutes. The onion should get fragrant, tender, and become transparent. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and saute with the onion for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Add the 1 pound of ground beef, break apart, and brown until almost completely browned or about 5-6 minutes. Add the taco seasoning and stir into the ground beef. Add the water as instructed on your packet (or use 1/4 cup of water with my homemade taco seasoning mix). Combine the refried beans with the ground beef and taco seasoning. Cook until the beans are heated.
• Spread the tortilla chips as your base, then top with 1 cup of nacho cheese sauce (heat in the microwave before pouring over the chips), beef and beans mixture, and 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend.
• Bake at 425 degrees F (218 degrees C) for 15 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and slightly browned.
• Remove from the oven and add your favorite toppings then serve immediately.
