The components offered differ from dinner to dinner and with the seasons. Prep:30m Cook:20m Servings:810	Waterlily

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef

One 1/4-ounce package taco seasoning mix

One 14-ounce jar (or 1 1/2 cups) Spaghetti Sauce

Two 9-ounce bags tortilla chips, crushed

2 cups hot cooked rice, prepared as label directs

1 head lettuce, thinly sliced

2 cups diced tomatoes

1 cup grated carrots

1 cup chopped green onions

1 cup sliced pitted ripe olives

1 cup diced green pepper

1 cup diced celery

1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 cup crumbled cooked bacon

1 cup sunflower seed kernals

One jar salsa

Directions

In large skillet, brown ground beef with taco seasoning over medium-high heat. Add spaghetti sauce; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, until most of liquid evaporates.

Mix crushed crackers and tortilla chips in a bowl. Place ground-beef mixture, rice, and remaining ingredients in individual bowls.

Allow guests to serve themselves, layering as suits each individual: lettuce, chips, meat mixture, rice, tomatoes, carrots, onions, olives, pepper, celery, cheese, bacon, sunflower seeds, and salsa.
