Easy Nachos the Whole Family Will Enjoy

Brandyberry's Note:

I have made nachos this way for as long as I can remember. If there are any leftovers (rarely), I crumble them over a bed of lettuce and top with southwestern ranch dressing for lunch the next day. We eat these at least once a week.

Wow! These were good! I used a larger can of beans and about a half pack of taco seasoning more. Just right for us! They boys all enjoyed it, so I guess that means I'll be making it again. Gotta love a fast dinner option!
