Beef and Bean Skillet Nacho Dip

I was craving some Mexican food for dinner but was feeling a little lazy. I decided to make a beef and bean skillet nacho dip with ground beef and black beans then served it to my family with chips. It was a simple, hearty, and delicious meal that we all loved. My husband was happy to take the leftovers to work for lunch today.
