Nacho Casserole

There is nothing better than a meal you can put together quickly that everyone will eat.

I put together this meal when we had a bunch of leftovers in the fridge that needed to be used before going on vacation. Add a couple staples from the pantry, and voila! My 2 and 4 year old kids ate without complaint, and I was happy it had so much protein to keep them full with good energy.

Nacho Casserole:
favorite tortilla chips
shredded chicken or pork (you could also use ground beef if you have that around)
1-2 c. shredded cheese
1-15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tsp. taco seasoning
1-4 oz. can diced green chilies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place a layer of tortilla chips in the bottom of the pan. Next spread 1/2 the meat, then a layer of cheese, a layer of black beans and 1/2 the green chilies. Then repeat the layers. Sprinkle the top with a little taco seasoning. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and everything is warm. Serve immediately!
