[mostly-healthy] nacho casserole

Nacho casserole is as awesome as it sounds. Another very flexible recipe. Follow most of the steps, add the stuff you like, and it'll be delicious.

You need:
1 ear of corn, removed from cob
(one can will do, too)
1 medium onion, diced
1 package Smart Ground
(or other protein crumbles)
1 can black beans
tortilla chips
oil
chili powder
garlic salt
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup grated cheese
spinach or lettuce
jalapenos, to taste
sour cream
tomatoes, diced
salsa



Do this:
Saute the onion and corn in oil for about 10 minutes on medium heat. Add the Smart Ground and break it up, then add the chili powder, garlic salt (both to taste!), and black beans and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 and cover the bottom of a casserole dish with tortilla chips. Cover the chips with the crumble mixture. Add in layers the carrots, jalapenos, and cheese. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is totally melted. To serve, scoop the nachos onto a separate plate and top with generous helpings of lettuce and/or spinach, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, and whatever else you can think to throw on them!
