Taco Crunch


This recipe comes from my school days at R-4, a rural school north of Holdrege. When the cook, Joyce Bergman, retired someone put all her recipes in a cookbook and gave them to the families of R-4. When R-4 closed last year and a reunion was held at the school, more cookbooks were passed out. The recipes are written to feed 100 (or so) kids and adults so it takes some time to convert into a recipe for a family of 5 for one meal. Otherwise we'd be eating Taco Cruch for a month or more.
So here you go....
1 lb ground beef
1/8 cup chopped onion (I use minced onion)
1 package taco seasoning
1 can pinto beans
1 can tomato soup
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
a few handfuls of crushed Doritos
Brown meat. Season with minced onion. Drain grease.
Mix in taco seasoning, beans, and soup.
Put in 9x9 baking pan.
Top with grated cheese and crushed doritos.
Bake for 30 minutes @ 350.

Yum! I would be scared to get a cookbook of lunches our cafeteria ladies made! Yikes! The joys of city life vs. rural!
I am going to make all these recipes!!
