1 1/2 lbs ground beef

1 can of refried beans (homemade are best)
taco seasoning
large bag of tortilla chips (Juanita's Brand)
can of nacho cheese
1 c. shredded cheese (Jack, Cheddar or Pepper Jack)
toppings: lettuce, tomato, sour cream, olives, green onion, jalepenos, salsa

Brown the beef with the diced onions, season lightly with salt and pepper. Drain meat and add refried beans and taco seasoning; cook down. Add nacho cheese and mix well.

Bake at 350°F until heated through and cheese has melted.

NOTE: You can add corn, black, pinto, or even kidney beans to the mix if you like (or leave out any ingredients you don't like.)
