Mary Ellen writes: "A great casserole when company drops in and you don't want to be in the kitchen very long . This can also be made up and ready to be cooked in the microwave when your family arrives home. The recipe comes from my cousin, Anna."

INGREDIENTS

1-1/2 pounds ground beef

1 package Taco seasoning

1 can refried beans

24 ounces of mild salsa

Shredded mild cheddar cheese, or mixture of cheddar and mozzarella

1 bag low-salt tortilla chips

Fry ground beef and drain grease off. Add Taco seasoning, refried beans and salsa to beef and heat until hot. In a medium or large-sized bowl, layer tortilla chips in bottom, then meat mixture, then cheese; repeat layers, topping with cheese. Microwave until cheese is melted and hot. Serve immediately with salad on the side.
