Taco Salad Tonight

This is one of my favorites.

Taco Salad

1 to 1 1/2 lbs, ground hamburger

1 can Refried Beans

1 envelope of Taco Seasoning

1 bag taco chip

Salt and Pepper to taste

Brown the hamburger, salt and pepper and drain. Add the beans and seasoning. I mix mine into very small pieces, one son didn't like beans and he NEVER knew they had been added.

(For company, I double amounts of everything and this is when I'd put the meat into a crockpot. Let it cool and then into the Refrig, will take about 3 hours on low to warm, watch and stir as needed. Cut and chop everything and you can enjoy the event too !) 

Serve with everything you like,
Taco sauce, or salsa
Onions chopped
Lettuce
Tomato
Black Olives
Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
Anything and everything you like !
