4 tablespoons taco seasoning

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup water

1 large hand full of crushed tortilla chips (unsalted) or about 3 taco shells crushed.



Directions

1 Brown ground beef and cook with diced onions. After the beef is cooked drain.

2 Put back in the pan and add and mix well the seasoning, milk, water and cheese let it come to a slight boil.

3 Add the egg noodles let the pan simmer for about 10 minutes until egg noodles are cooked and sauce has thickened, then add the salsa & mix well.

4 pour into a large casserole dish.

5 Mix 1 cup of mixed cheese with the crushed tortilla chips or taco shells and pour over top. Bake at about 350 degrees till cheese is golden brown. Allow to stand for 5 minutes & serve.
