GHETTO FOOTBALL DORITO NACHOS

This is a truly disgusting mish-mash of grease and flavor that I used to eat for meals when I was a poor, starving DJ in South Lake Tahoe in the early 1990's. Now, I roll this out occasionally during NFL football games. Eat it with a fork for real fun.

INGREDIENTS
1 Bag Nacho/spicy flavored Doritos
1.5 pounds ground beef
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 packets hot or traditional taco seasoning
Ground black pepper
1 bunch scallions, chopped
Shredded cheese of your liking (I usually use the pre-packaged "Mexican" cheese blends of cheddar, jack, etc…which by the way ahave nothing to do with Mexican food, despite the package name)

Optional: refried beans
Chopped/sliced Jalapeno peppers

To Make...

1. Brown the ground beef in a sauté pan. Disregard the taco seasoning packet instructions and do not discard the beef fat, add both packets and only 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil

2. Add half of the chopped onion and lower heat to low to simmer for 3-5 minutes

3. To a large salad bowl, add a handful of Doritos covering the bottom of the bowl in a single layer

4. If you're going use refried beans, add a layer of them (cooked) to the Dorito

5. Cover the Doritos with a couple spoonfuls of ground beef and a layer of cheese

6. Repeat steps 3-5

7. Cover with the remaining beef if desired, the rest of the onions, and a layer of cheese covering the top.

8. Place the whole bowl in the microwave for approximately 90 seconds. Remove, add scallions and stir the whole mess together. The chips will be crisp but wet, although in my experience they will never get soggy. Dig in and feel your arteries clog.
