Mrs. Scadden

Ok this meal is simple, quick, and easy.
Prep Time: 10 minutes or less

What you will need:
Bag of Ranch Doritos
Can of Chili or homemade if you would like
Shredded Cheese
Sour Cream
Lettuce (Optional)
diced Tomatoes (Optional)

How to make:
If you don't buy shredded cheese you will need to shred the cheese. Next heat up your can of chili (You will need as many cans of chili as you think it will take to feed your family). Next put it all together. It is kind of like a Mexican Haystack. First layer your plate with ranch Doritos, then add the chili, and layer with whatever other toppings you would like.

As a matter of fact I think we will be having this for dinner tonight since I have a bag of Doritos that is opened and needs to be used.

Hope you enjoy!
