Mike's Big Taco Bowl

We've made variations of this recipe my entire life. It has changed somewhat over the years and can serve as a "toss in what you like" type of recipe, but this is the basic foundation from which you can build. Feel free to toss in more vegetables, as many other chili peppers as you'd like. Vary up the cheeses and hot sauces as well. Perfect for a Saturday night gathering!
