I prepared this hearty appetizer for 200 people at a cookout, and it was gone before I knew it! Everyone loved the barbecued ground beef, veggie and cheese combination. âIola Egle Bella Vista, Arkansas Ingredients:
4 pounds ground turkey or beef |
2 envelopes taco seasoning |
1 cup water |
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
1 cup 2% milk |
2 envelopes ranch salad dressing mix |
4 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies, drained |
1 cup chopped green onions |
3 to 4 cups shredded romaine |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
4 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped |
2 to 3 cups honey barbecue sauce |
2 to 3 packages (13-1/2 ounces each) tortilla chips |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, milk and dressing mixes until blended. Spread over two 14-in. plates. Layer with the beef mixture, chilies, onions, romaine, cheese and tomatoes. Drizzle with barbecue sauce.
3. Arrange some tortilla chips around the edge; serve with remaining chips. Yield: 2 plates (20 servings each).
