Easy "Naked" Nacho Dip - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb lean ground beef
    2 (1 1/4 ounce) packages taco seasoning (recommend hot or spicy to add flavor)
    1 -2 cup black olives, sliced, drained (recommend using 2-3 small cans of pre-sliced, for ease)
    2 (16 ounce) cans chili with beans (recommend Nalley's Thick Chili, to avoid too much liquid in the dip, or drain a regular can of chili)
    2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (for melting)
    Toppings
    2 tomatoes, chopped
    1/2 head lettuce, shredded
    1 onion, finely chopped
    2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded (for topping, can use any Mexican blend cheese)
    1 cup salsa
    1 pint sour cream
    1 pint guacamole
    1 lb tortilla chips (Tostidos Scoops work great for this)
Preparation
    In a skillet, brown the ground beef, drain grease. Add taco seasoning and cook to package directions.
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
    Pour beef mixture into a large baking dish. Add a layer of olives. Pour the chili over the top. Cover with foil and bake in oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil, add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and bake uncovered for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
    To serve, use a large spoon and put a serving on the plate, then add all the other toppings to your liking. Scoop up each individual bite with chips.
