Oven Baked Tacos

Notes:

This is a great dish when you are serving a lot of people!
Surprisingly, the leftover are fantastic.

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef
1 small can of re-friend beans (can use a larger can to stretch the recipe for more people)
8 ounces tomato sauce (I use a smaller amount of tomato paste when I don't have sauce)
1 package of taco seasoning
1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese (colby jack, cheddar, etc.)
18 - 20 hard taco shells

Compliments:

lettuce, shredded
salsa
sour cream
green pepper, diced
red pepper, diced
avocado, diced
guacamole
lime, squeezed or in wedges

Instructions:
  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef.  Drain off any extra fat.
  2. Add the re-fried beans, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning to the ground beef.
  3. Mix on medium heat until thoroughly incorporated.
  4. Spoon the mixture into taco shells.
  5. Place the filled shells into a 9x13 pyrex dish, standing up.
  6. Sprinkle the tacos with cheese.
  7. Bake at 400 for 12 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is bubbling.
  8. While the tacos are baking, prepare the taco compliments.
