Beefy Nacho Soup

Number 1 Son LOVES nachos. When we go out for Mexican food, I'm not sure he ever orders anything else. If I've got the stuff here at the house to make them, he's a happy guy. What he doesn't love is soup. He enjoys the flavor of soup but as he says..."I don't like to drink my dinner". So I knew when I made this I needed to make it thick enough that he would a) be happy with it as a soup or b) be able to pour it directly on top of chips. Well...guess what? It's both! Not only is this super tasty but it can double as a soup OR a topping!

Super Nacho Pizza & a Coupon!!!

Here it is!! Our first recipe featuring Mama Mary's pizza crusts! With the Super Bowl coming up on Sunday, I figured a lot of you might be noshing on nachos and pizza. Am I right? So why not combine the two? Be still my heart, but these were good! From start to finish this took about 30 minutes to make and less than half that time to eat. #1 son...who is a huge lover of nachos and pizza, proclaimed it a roaring success. The pizza crusts baked up to perfection and were just the right crispiness to hold all the nacho goodness. I'm certainly not going to wait until the next year's Super Bowl to make this again.

Nacho Casserole

My oldest son is a nacho lover. Whenever we go out to eat....and it doesn't matter where....if nachos are on the menu, he's going to get them. Minus tomatoes. None of my kids like tomatoes. Why is that? They really don't know what they're missing, do they? This dish is SO much easier than making individual plates of nachos for everyone. It all goes in one dish, heat it up and serve it with chips and you're done! And my nacho lovin' boy? He LOVED this! Score!!



Nacho Casserole



1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 4-ounce can diced green chilies
1 4-ouncel can sliced olives
1 cup salsa
1 16 ounce can refried beans
3 green onions, chopped
2 cups shredded cheese
1 tomato, diced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
Sour cream
Guacamole
Tortilla chips

Saute onion in a little olive oil. Add ground beef and cook through. Season with salt, pepper and cumin. Set aside.

In the bottom of a 9x11 inch casserole dish, spread the refried beans. Sprinkle meat over beans. Spread chilies over meat then add the shredded cheese. Drizzle salsa over cheese.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with green onion, olives and tomatoes. Dollop with sour cream and guacamole. Serve with chips on the side.

Serves about 6

 
These are the things I used 
to make this. But whatever 
you like on your nachos will 
work. Use chicken instead of beef!

 
Brown the onions and ground beef 
then throw in the spices. You could 
use a taco mix in place of the spices, if ya wanna.

 
Spread the beans into the bottom of the pan.

 
Sprinkle the meat over the beans.

 
Sprinkle the green chilies over the meat.

 
Sprinkle the cheese over the chilies 
then sprinkle the salsa over the cheese. 
Wow, this is a lot of sprinkling!

 
Bake it up then top...or sprinkle...
with the green onions, olives and 
tomatoes. You'll notice that mine 
only has tomatoes on one end so 
my kids don't think I'm trying 
to poison them or something.
