- 2 15 oz cans dark red kidney beans rinsed & drained
- 2 packets taco seasoning + the water called for on the packet instructions
- 8 oz block mild cheddar cheese thinly sliced

- Bring the mixture to a simmer, and let it cook until the sauce has thickened- stirring occasionally.
- Transfer this mixture to a casserole dish, and using a spatula spread it out evenly in the bottom of the dish.
- Alternating the cheeses, layer the sliced cheese evenly out overtop of the meat mixture until all the cheese is gone and the mixture covered.
- Bake the dish at 350° for 15-20 minutes, until heated through and all the cheese is melted.
- Serve by spooning the beef & cheese out over individual plates of nachos.
