"This is a delicious casserole that will remind you of getting a large order of nachos at your favorite restaurant. It looks spectacular coming out of the oven, and it tastes awesome. Just like a big plate of nachos. You might even want to bring this to your next social gathering as an appetizer. To cut the heat down omit the jalapeño pepper and hot sauce, or adjust to your liking."

These are really great. Wonderful flavor and an added plus is using up the leftovers is endless-you could put them in flour torillos, taco shells, even a breakfast omelette and you can add or take away any ingrediant you don't care for. I made these for me and my grandson and he's still in there eating them-he prefers them without the chips but I love them either way. Great recipe. Thanks for sharing Pepper Monkey-love your name LOL. Thanks again!

Yum! These were simple and tasty. I halved the recipe for 2 of us, opened up chopped olives instead of sliced, lol, but otherwise made as directed. The leftovers will be great while watching football tomorrow. Thanks Pepper Monkey for sharing this great dish. Made for Cookbook Tag.

Very very good. I used just one pound of ground turkey, as that was what I had in the fridge at the moment, 1 can of kidney beans that I smashed, and 1 can of kidney beans that I left whole. I left out the onion, olives, and jalapeno (personal preference), and added some diced red and green bell peppers -- probably the equivalent of 1 1/2 peppers. A lovely fast supper for those busy nights.

Yummy!! Made exactely as written except left out the olives and it was great. The kids ate like it was their last meal. We barely had enough leftovers for me for lunch(hubby has to go hungry at lunch I guess). We are a family of 5 & will make a batch and a half next time. Served it w/ guacamole, sour cream & salsa. Also served it w/ regular tortilla chips and guacamole chips which was really good. Easy and delicious!!

This was excellent. I followed the recipe as written except I left out the black olives. Made a ton, but from reading the reviews, will make great left overs. Thanks for sharing Made for Cookbook Tag Game :)
