South of the Border

1 lb. ground beef (or 2 can of kidney beans)

16 oz. tomato sauce

1 envelope Taco Seasoning

2 c. grated cheese

2 1/2 c. crushed tortilla chips

1 15 oz. refried beans

Sour Cream

Brown meat, drain fat. (If using meat - it's very yummy and a lot cheaper with just the beans!) Mix together tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Mix half the sauce with the meat (or kidney beans). Mix the other half with the refried beans. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish and line with crushed chips (reserve just a few for the top). Spoon in meat (or kidney beans) mixture. Pour refried bean mixture on top. Bake 375 for 20 minutes. Cover with cheese and reserved chips. Bake for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve hot with sour cream. (You can also cook this in the microwave for 5-7 minutes.)

Steph's Comments: I got this recipe from my mom. Even though it's super simple, it really does have a yummy flavor - especially if you love refried beans as much as I do! Oh, and it's still good without sour cream if you don't want to spend the money on it.
