Fantastic Taco Casserole

  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packages taco seasoning
  • 1 (15 ounce) cans refried beans
  • 1 cup shredded regular or low fat monterey jack or mexican mix cheese, divided (I would not use fat free with this recipe, it doesn’t melt very well)

Pour beans over corn chips in dish.
Add beef to top of beans.
Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
Sprinkle green onions over cheese.
Bake in a 375 degree oven until the cheese is nicely melted.
