Grey Cup Nachos

This is a recipe from my early days of cooking. The first time I made these was for the Grey Cup (Canadian Football Championship) of 1992 and they've been yummy ever since. Enjoy. This is a great base for nachos. Top with grated cheese, sour cream, salsa, green onions--whatever you like.

Place the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring to crumble, until no longer pink. Add onion and cook until tender. Drain off grease. Stir in the contents of the seasoning packet and any water if needed in order to prepare according to package directions.
