Servings: persons

2 lbs ground beef
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian salad dressing (I use reduced or no fat)
1 onion, chopped
1 large tomatoes, chopped
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
2 cups lettuce, shredded (Iceberg lettuce works well)
2 cups crunched up nacho chips

1
Brown beef in a skillet with garlic and salt.
2
Drain off any fat.
3
Set aside and let cool completely.
4
(Put it in the fridge for quicker cooling).
5
Mix the meat with the taco seasoning, salad dressing, onion and tomato.
6
Let stand refrigerated overnight (or at least 2 hours for flavours to blend).
7
Just before serving, mix in the lettuce and cheese and add taco chips.
8
Try to serve this salad right after adding the chips so they don't get soggy.
9
I usually leave the chips out in a bowl at the side so guests can just add their own and they stay crunchy.
