• Spread chips out onto a baking sheet (or other desired oven-safe baking dish including a 9x13 pan, cast iron skillet, or even a pie plate).
• Sprinkle 2 cups of the cheese over the chips. Dot with the beef and bean mixture. Top with remaining 2 cups of cheese.
• Bake in the 350 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until cheese is fully melted.
• Remove from heat and add additional toppings as desired. Serve warm.
