Layered Nacho Dip
Preparation:

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add ground beef and taco seasoning mix or chile peppers; sauté until brown. Remove from heat and drain off any fat and discard.

On individual serving plates or a large ovenproof platter, spread the refried beans, cooked ground beef, onion, and cheddar cheese. Arrange corn chips around sides of dish.

In a microwave oven or conventional oven, heat just until cheese starts to melt. Remove from oven.

To serve, top with lettuce and any toppings of your choice (see Optional Topping Ideas above). NOTE: I sometimes place the prepared toppings in individual bowls and let everyone choose their toppings to add.

Makes 4 servings.
