EASY TACO CASSEROLE

1 lb ground beef
1/4 C chopped onion
1 pkg Taco Seasoning
3/4 C water
1 (16 oz) can Refried Beans
1 (8 oz) Taco sauce
2 1/2 C crushed Tortilla chips
7 oz (1 4/4 C) shredded cheddar cheese
11/2 C shredded lettuce
1/2 chopped tomatoes
Heat oven to 400. Cook ground beef and onions well. Now why did they have to tell me to cook well. I am going to simmer 10 minutes and cook in oven for 25 minutes. It must be all about the draining.
Mix in taco seasoning mix, water and simmer 10 minutes
In medium bowl combine refried beans and taco sauce. In ungreased 2 qt baking dish layer 1/2 bean mixture, 2 C chips and 1 C cheese. Top with remaining bean mixture and beef mixture. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Top with remaining chips and cheese. Return to oven 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve with lettuce and tomatoes.
I first crushed the chips in the osterizer and they came out pulverized. I realized you do it with two hands.
