CHEESY BURGER BAKE
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, slivered (about 6 ounces)
Seasonings of your choice *
8 ounces colby-jack cheese, diced or cubed
Brown the ground beef with the onion until the onion starts to brown a little. Drain the fat, if desired. Season to taste. Put the meat mixture in a 6x8" baking dish and stir in the diced cheese. Bake at 350º for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
* I used a combination of taco seasoning and Nacho Cheddar flavor Kernel Seasons but any seasonings you like will do.
Makes about 4 servings

This was just something that I threw together after deciding not to make another recipe today. I used diced cheese rather than shredded so that there would be larger bits of gooey cheese in each bite. Of course you can use pre-shredded cheese, if you like. I'm not sure if I can taste the nacho cheese flavor in the dish but the over all flavor is nice. Click the photo to see a close-up.
