Loaded Whole Food Nachos

This is such a fun meal that can be assembled in less than 15 minutes!

It feels like you are having a cheat dinner when it is really packed full of veggies, protein and fibre that your whole family will enjoy!

You really only need about 1/4-1/2 lb of ground beef for a meal like this that can feed a family of 6. This leaves you with seasoned browned ground beef ready made in the fridge for other meals that week such as a pasta dish, quesadillas, tacos, omelette, etc. It also makes this a very cost effective organic whole food meal.
