Ingredients 

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp minced onion
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 4 oz can green chilies
  • 15 oz can pinto beans, drained
  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • Toppings: fresh diced tomatoes and avocado chunks
  • Tortilla chips, for dipping
  • Fresh veggies or salad, as side dish

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the minced onion and garlic powder. Drain, if needed, and return to the skillet.
  • Stir in the tomato sauce, green chilies and drained pinto beans with the taco seasoning. Combine well and let simmer over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, to allow flavors to mingle and marry.
  • Once simmer and cooked into thick sauce, top with the shredded cheese and let melt. (If needed, add to 350 F oven for a few minutes - using oven safe skillet.)
  • Top with fresh diced tomatoes and avocado chunks, and any other nacho toppings like salsa or sour cream.
  • Serve Skillet Nacho Dip with tortilla chips, and side of veggies or salad.

Freezer Meal Instructions

  • Add ingredients into a freezer bag. Put baggie in the freezer and freeze up to 6 months in fridge freezer or 12 months in a deep freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight, or a warm bowl of water for about 20 minutes, before transferring to the skillet to reheat and then top with shredded cheese and red pepper and avocado garnishes.
