Raisin Bread French Toast, Spicy Nacho Bake

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow I am making another breakfast to kick off the first day of Sunday School. I'm going to make Raisin Bread French Toast. Simple! For dinner, we're having Spicy Nacho Bake. This recipe makes 2 casseroles so cut it in half if you just need 1. You'll want to use Doritos in these. I know my kids will love this (weird, I know) but John won't touch it (because of the beans, not the cheese). So, on days like that, John is thankful for leftovers!

Katie (Katiedid) from Taste of Home

2 pounds ground beef
2 large onions, chopped
2 large green peppers, chopped
2 cans (28 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cans (15-1/2 ounces each) hot chili beans
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cans (11 ounces each) whole kernel corn, drained
2 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce
2 envelopes taco seasoning
2 packages (13 ounces each) spicy nacho tortilla chips
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

In a Dutch oven or large kettle, cook the beef, onions and green peppers over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, beans, corn, tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes (mixture will be thin). In each of two greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dishes, layer 5 cups of chips and 4-2/3 cups of meat mixture. Repeat layers. Top each with 4 cups of chips and 2 cups of cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 2 casseroles (15 servings each).
