1 lb. ground beef
1 can {16 oz.}refried beans {we used Rosarita}
1 jar salsa/picante sauce {we used Market Street}
1 pkg. Taco Seasoning
2 1/2 cups tortilla chips, coarsely crushed
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
4 medium green onions, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese {we used Colby & Monterrey Jack}
1 cup shredded lettuce

Steps:

Brown meat and drain. Return to skillet and add refried beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. Heat to boiling and make sure to occasionally stir! Coarsely crush your chips and place two cups on the bottom of a 2-qt. casserole dish. I just eyed this measurement :) Top evenly with the beef mixture and cover with onions, 1 cup of the tomatoes, and the shredded cheese. Bake uncovered on 350 for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is all hot and bubbly! Now top with lettuce, remaining 1/2 cup of tomato, & half cup of chopped tortilla chips...OR,if you like a lotta crunch, add more!!!! I did and it was AMAZING!!!!
