Sauté ground beef until done. Drain any excess grease. Stir taco mix into beef and let it cool.

Drain and rinse red beans. Stir beans and chopped onion into beef mixture. Chill for several hours or overnight. Add lettuce, tomatoes and cheese to beef mixture. Serve with your favorite dressing over a bed of taco chips. Will yield about 8 servings.

We prepare the beef and beans mixture and keep in the freezer. Not only is it convenient for this salad, but can serve as the base for a quick chili, too. And, of course, we garnish our chili with Gibbsville Shredded Cheddar Cheese!
