I was looking for an easy recipe one night, the kind I could just throw together without thinking about it. I came across some recipes for nacho casserole. It sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a try. If you have ever cooked with me, you know that I don't follow recipes very well. (I always mean to, but then I end up changing almost everything about it.) My final recipe was delicious. - Kirsti
