Tonight's Dinner Ground Beef Nachos

Who Says Nachos Are Just An Appetizer?When people hear the word, nachos, they think appetizer or party food for the big game, but adding a little taco meat and some refried beans, upgrades this party food to a delicious dinner any night of the week.

Mexican is always a big hit at our house; it doesn't matter if it comes in a taco, burrito, or salad, everyone always wants more, but 1 pound of ground beef tends to mean leftovers. So, then the question becomes, what to do with them?

I could make a salad, but the toddler won't eat that. He does love cheese and chips, but then again, who doesn't love cheese and chips? So what if I took the ground beef, added some refried beans and put the whole thing on top of a platter of tortilla chips? I'd get a delicious dinner that will have everyone screaming for more.
