Nacho Casserole to the rescue

Well - busy day today and I am coming down with a cold so I made nacho casserole for dinner. Simple really and pretty quick here goes

1/2 a bag of tortilla chips (I use Taco Loco - they are local and always very fresh - the owner does not put anything nasty in them)
1 - 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (moose, buffalo, turkey - whatever)
1 - 1 1/2 tsp McCormick Grill Seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chili powder
1 - 1 1/2 cups organic cheese ( I used sliced Joseph Farms sharp cheddar - get it at costco, it's cheap)
1 can refried beans
2 TBS organic milk
1 small can sliced black olives


condiments -
Guacamole (my recipe is just avocado, lime and salt)
Organic sour cream
Salsa - again my favorite is Taco Loco, it is outstanding
Green chilis

really whatever else you like, it's up to you

Preheat the oven to 375 - use non-stick spray on a casserole dish

brown the meat while the oven pre-heats - add seasonings

in a saucepan heat the re-fried beans and the milk - stir (the milk makes it easier to work with)

Layer the chips first in the casserole dish, it does not have to be fancy - then some ground meat then the re-fried beans then the cheese and olives - repeat until you run out of room in the dish

THEN pop that puppy in the oven and heat until the cheese is nice and bubbly, about 10 - 15 minutes.

serve with condiments - gluten-free, organic and QUICK
