Nacho Grande
This one is a sort of rip off of Taco Bell's Nacho Supreme without the taco shell. I've made it over and over and still enjoy it.
1 lb hamburger
1 onion, chopped
16 oz can kidney beans
16 oz can refried beans
tortilla chips, thick ones are better
2 roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 c jalapenos, pickled and sliced
1/4 c black olives, sliced
8-10 oz cheese shredded
2-3 green onions, chopped. Seperate tops from bottoms.
1/4 c cilantro, chopped
1 tbs brown sugar
1-2 tsp cumin
2-3 tbs chili powder
black pepper to taste
1/4 can of water
In a large skillet, brown hamburger. Add chopped onion part way through browning process. Add salt, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper while hamburger browns. Once browned, drain grease.
Add kidney beans and refried beans, stir into browned hamburger. Add 1/4 can of water. Stir ingredients until well mixed. Add brown sugar and additional cumin and chili powder. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
While this is going on, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Take a large baking pan, (I usually coat with foil for easy clean up) and spread the tortilla chips over it. Spoon and sprinkle the meat mixture from the skillet onto the chips. Try to cover them all.
Now sprinkle the diced tomatoes on top. Follow that with sprinkling the jalapenos, the black olives, and the bottoms fo the green onions. Now sprinkle the cheese over the top of all this.
Slide baking sheet into the hot oven. Bake approximately 15 minutes, till nachos are heated through and cheese is melted.
Pull out of oven, sprinkle with the tops of the green onions and the cilantro.
Serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. Best eaten while hot.

Naturally, recipes are guidelines, not blueprints. It's your money, your time, and your tastebuds. Put on them what you like and for the most part leave out what you don't like. That doesn't always work but most of the time it will.
*edit*
Still figuring out what works for formatting and what doesn't.
