Bossman Nachos

****I don't know what happened to my pictures! I'm going to leave this blog post up, for the directions....meanwhile, I'm hunting down my pictures in the blogosphere picture graveyard...

This is what happens when I've had a long hard day and Bossman takes over in the kitchen. He is the King of Scrounge, no doubt about it. While this may not be the healthiest dinner in town, it did have some positive, healthy attributes like lots of fiber and protien.

And they were really, really good. Amen.

Bossman started with some extra lean hamburger. He browned it in a cast iron skillet. See, healthy already.

He added a healthy dose of Lawry's Seasoned Salt

While the hamburger was browning, he warmed up some pinto beans we had leftover from dinner the other night. There's our fiber.

He gathered the remainder of his ingredients: tortilla chips, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa and salsa verde. This is sounding pretty good, huh?

He was very precise about how to arrange the tortilla chips on the plates. They have to be spread out and somewhat even to allow the other ingredients to get "down in there".

These are our plates lined up with the tortilla chips arranged just so.

Then, we put a layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the layered tortilla chips. Followed by another smaller layer of tortilla chips. At this point, it was getting pretty tall, so I only did one layer of chips.

Followed by another healthy dose of shredded cheddar cheese. Plenty of dairy and protein.

Here's our lean ground beef all browned and ready to go.

Add a layer of the browned lean ground beef. This will start the cheese melting and getting gooey.

Add some warmed up pinto beans. Again, fiber. And, more protein. (plus is uses up your leftovers)

This is what it looks like after the lean ground beef and pinto beans were added to the layers of cheese and chips. Looking pretty yummy.

Add a little more cheese on top of all of that.

At this point, he put the whole plate in the microwave for 1 minute and 11 seconds. He said it's easier that way since you just have to hit all "1"s on the microwave keypad. I love him :) This makes your cheese get all melty and ooey gooey good.
