Mexican Haystacks - Jen

Please leave a comment for Mexican Haystacks. Did it feed six? Did you like it? Did you love it?

½ pound hamburger
taco seasoning
approx. 2 cups cooked beans
some tomato sauce
tortilla chips
shredded cheese
shredded lettuce
olives
tomatoes
salsa, or ranch dressing- optional

There are a million ways to pile up whatever your family likes and call it a “haystack,” but I like to brown the hamburger, add taco seasoning, sauce and beans and heat them all together. This way my kids eat the beans too and it makes the meat go further. I also set all the toppings on the table and let everyone pile up their own haystack the way they like it. simple.

Side dishes: Since this meal already has most of the food groups, we usually don’t serve anything else with it, but juice is a great drink!
