Taco Salad

1 package taco seasoning mix
1 pound hamburger, browned and drained
1 (1 pound) can kidney beans, drained
1 large onion, chopped (red is very strong... may want to go less on this)
8 ounces grated cheddar cheese
1 head lettuce
4 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 (7 1/2 oz) package taco flavored tortilla chips

Dressing
1 (8 oz) bottle Thousand Island salad dressing
1/3 cup sugar
1 TBlsp taco seasoning

Brown hamburger; drain and add taco seasoning mix, reserving one tablespoon for the dressing. Break up the head of lettuce in a large bowl; add remaining ingredients except the tomatoes, taco chips and dressing. Cover and refrigerate. At serving time, add broken chips tomatoes and dressing and toss.

Serves a lot... my favorite potluck dish.
