Savvy with Abbie

I'm hoping to get through a few blog posts today - as much as my energy will get me through.  This is the last one on my list - Sheet Pan Nachos. This recipe is from My Recipes and can be found HERE . This recipe is super simple and filling. You can add whatever toppings you would like.  Ingredients: 1 bag tortilla chips 2 tsp olive oil 1 pound ground beef 2 cans beans - we used black beans - rinsed and drained 1 envelope low sodium taco seasoning mix 3/4 cup water 1/2 cup taco sauce 1 tbsp onion powder 8oz shredded cheddar cheese Toppings - lettuce, tomato, salsa, sour cream Directions: Arrange chips on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high. Add ground beef and onion powder. Stir often, crumbling until browned through, 5-8 minutes. Drain. Add beans to beef and cook about 1 minute. Use a potato masher to mash the beans. Add taco seasoning and water, stirring often until thickened - about 2 minutes. Stir in taco sauce and cook 1 mi

Since it was only Kevin and I eating this, I only used half of the bag of chips. Ingredients: 1/2 bag of tortilla chips one tube of ground beef 1/4 can of black beans 4oz shredded cheese 2oz sour cream 1 large tomato 1/2 avocado shredded lettuce Sharp White Cheddar Cheese Sauce I did not measure but added into ground beef - paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili pepper, pepper, and cumin Directions: Place the chips on a large baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spra
