Given a choice, would one want to? Your writing and thinking are par excellence. I'm beginning to think you would make a really easy dinner guest, however, because you will eat with enthusiasm just about ANYthing. Although with that much cheese, one can swallow a host of doubtful recipes. tsk, tsk.charlotte ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10324853016206528194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-76277048792758982512007-10-23T11:11:00.000-05:002007-10-23T11:11:00.000-05:00bung?bung?bredahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216098318849287384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-78774487476037469802007-10-23T02:32:00.000-05:002007-10-23T02:32:00.000-05:00Here's a quick-and-easy nosh:1 lb ground beefYour ...Here's a quick-and-easy nosh:<BR/><BR/>1 lb ground beef<BR/>Your favorite taco seasoning<BR/>Shredded cheddar cheese<BR/>Tostitos "Scoops" tortilla chips<BR/><BR/>The Tostitos "Scoops" are like miniature taco shell bowls. When we bought them by accident one day, Mrs. Me and I independently thought the same thing: they're perfect for nachos, without the usual mess.<BR/><BR/>Brown the ground beef thoroughly, taking care to break it up thoroughly, with no clumps (because the chips are so small). Add your taco spice mix per directions. (We don't use mix, and just "cook by ear"; we mince a small onion and a roma tomato, add salt and pepper and chili powder to taste, and call it done.)<BR/><BR/>Drain the meat thoroughly. Either spoon the meat into the Scoops, or just scoop it up directly. Place tightly on a cookie sheet, and sprinkle liberally with shredded cheddar cheese.<BR/><BR/>Bake at 275 for 3 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted. (There's a fine line between "nicely melted" and "hopelessly burnt".)<BR/><BR/>If desired, top each mini-nacho with a dollop of sour cream and/or a sliced black olive.<BR/><BR/>Use a spatula to transfer them to a plate, and enjoy!<BR/><BR/>The beer and televised sporting event of your choice are a fine complement to this snack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-35927471812476000722007-10-22T19:11:00.000-05:002007-10-22T19:11:00.000-05:00Argh.Fixed it.Argh.<BR/><BR/>Fixed it.LawDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232684877582591461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-91243714011096851562007-10-22T18:52:00.000-05:002007-10-22T18:52:00.000-05:00And a small bunch of green onions will do almost a...And a small bunch of green onions will do almost as well as a snall one.<BR/>LMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
