SALAD:

1 head lettuce
1 lb. hamburger
8 oz. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 chopped onion
4 med. tomatoes, chopped
1 pkg. Doritos or some other nacho chips
1 pkg. taco seasoning (reserve 1 tbsp.)

DRESSING:

8 oz. Thousand Island dressing
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. taco seasoning (reserved)
1 tbsp. taco sauce

Brown hamburger and drain off fat. Add taco seasoning (remember to reserve 1 tablespoon for dressing). Let meat cool. Layer lettuce, hamburger, cheese, beans, onion and tomatoes in a large container.

Put cheese on top and refrigerate 24 hours.

Dressing: Mix Thousand Island dressing, sugar, taco seasoning and taco sauce. Refrigerate until serving time.

Just before serving: Crush chips (not too small). Add chips and dressing to layered salad and toss.

Note: Smaller portions of layered salad, chips and dressing may be tossed at each meal so that chips don't get soft and lettuce stays crisper.
