I have made these nachos with a variety of different ground meat: beef, turkey, bison, and even ground moose meat. Most often though, we have it with classic ground beef.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3 Tb taco seasoning
  • 28 oz refried beans, vegetarian (see note)
  • 1 c salsa
  • 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese

For Serving

  • tortilla chips
  • sour cream
  • guacamole
  • shredded lettuce

Instructions
 

  • To begin, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Cook the ground beef and onion powder together in an oven-safe skillet until completely cooked through.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the taco seasoning. Stir in the refried beans and the salsa.
  • Spread the mixture evenly in the skillet and sprinkle on the shredded cheese.
  • Slide the skillet into the oven and bake it for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, guacamole, or other toppings of your choice.

Notes

Serve the nachos with your favorite toppings.
This can also be put inside a tortilla as another option.
Refried Beans: I now use vegetarian refried beans to be biblically clean, as most traditional ones have pork in them.
