Loaded Nachos

This is a fun appetizer for a party, or can be turned into a meal for one or two people.

First cook your ground beef until browned.  I cooked my ground beef for another recipe at the same time, so if you're only cooking the meat for the nachos it won't look like as much as mine.

Spread your chips on a baking sheet.

Empty a can of refried beans into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for about a minute until you can stir it smooth.

Spread your ground beef along the top of the chips.

Drop small scoops of the beans on top of the chips in random places so they're spread out.

Sprinkle olives around on top of the chips.  Top with 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.  Top with another cup of cheese and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.

To serve, let each person put some on a plate and have salsa and sour cream available for on top of the nachos.
