I originally found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine. Since then, I have made this recipe at least 50 times. I love it because the ingredients list isn't complicated and, based on the layers, I can readily remember all ingredients when I am at the store without my recipe card. I have served this for myself and had wonderful leftovers or many times I have made it for company with a nice green salad to accompany it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 (15 ounce) can refried beans
2 cups monterey jack cheese, divided (or mixed cheddar, jack etc.)

2 green onions, chopped
1 (2 1/3 ounce) can sliced black olives
1 tomato, chopped
2 cups corn chips, coarsely crushed or chopped

YUM! I used Hint of Jalapeno Tostitos, Taco Shredded Cheese (it had Monterey Jack in the mix, but also some spices...I like a kick!) and Boca Veggie Crumbles. This was very easy to make, and, when using the Veggie Crumbles, it did not take nearly as long to make - I only cooked it for 12 minutes. Sweet! My husband asked if he could give this 6 stars. Very easy and yummy...Thanks so much!

Really good kid meal. My kids really enjoyed it, and I did too. I will be making this often. I kept the onions, tomatoes and olives on the side, but followed the directions otherwise. I do think I will double this next time though because I have 4 eating kids and another baby who will be eating in the future. We ate every bite and my daughter would have gone back for thirds!

Easy and delicious! I added chopped onion when I brown the beef. The chips don't get soggy, they stay crisp. This would be great to double and take to a potluck. The whole family loved this. Thanx for sharing this recipe; I'll make it again.

This was tasty, and ridiculously easy to make (even easier than tacos). I liked the fact everything was pre-cooked, and only required melting of the cheese in the oven. Such a snap to put together.
