It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Super Nachos!

Super Nachos... my kids' favorite meal.  Seriously.  And it's the easiest thing to make!

1-1/2 lb. ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 can fat-free refried beans
1 envelope taco seasoning (or 1/4 C of my homemade taco seasoning - I'll post that recipe soon enough)
1/2 C water
1 C salsa
1 bag of Trader Joe's frozen bell pepper mix (or approx. 2 bell peppers, cut into strips)
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
1 can kidney beans, drained & rinsed

Toppings:  Sour cream, olives, shredded cheddar cheese, extra salsa

Brown ground beef and onion in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.  Drain off excess fat.  Stir in remaining ingredients (except toppings.)  Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, reduce heat to low, and cook until peppers and beans are softened.

And... serve.

We typically serve this over brown rice, with the toppings on top and a side of tortilla chips.  Super healthy dinner, not too bad on WW points (I think it's around 7 for a cup of the filling plus whatever you serve it with), and it REALLY fills you up.  Oh, and it freezes really well, so this could be "freezer meal", too!

Enjoy!
