Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Taco Salad

Original Recipe from:  Margaret Johnson-Hendrix

This is my sister’s recipe.  When Margaret lived in Michigan this was her favorite salad to bring to a potluck affair.  It’s a great crowd pleaser, and makes an easy family dinner too.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 large head of iceberg lettuce
2 tomatoes, diced
3 small onions or 1 large sweet onion, diced
Large bag Nacho Cheese Doritos
2 pounds ground beef
Chili Powder
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
16 ounce bottle Seven Seas Green Goddess Dressing

Directions

Wash and tear lettuce, put in large salad bowl.  Add tomatoes and onions. 

Crush bag of Doritos and layer over the salad.

Brown ground beef and drain.  Add chili powder to taste. 

Layer ground beef over the Doritos.

Add layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the ground beef.  Let set until cheese is lightly melted.

Add Seven Seas Green Goddess dressing.  Toss and serve.

Note:  If you can’t find the Green Goddess dressing, you can substitute with French dressing (I actually prefer the French dressing).
