Ground round, skillet fried in a bit of olive oil, fresh garlic, fresh parsley, salt and pepper, drained; added water and my taco seasoning mix. Spooned over toasted split French bread, lined with chopped lettuce, tomato and onion (meat on top of this), sprinkled with black sliced olives, topped with shredded Cheddar and Monterey jack and set in the broiled to melt the cheeses a bit. Top with salsa and served open-faced.

Side spinach salad - fresh spinach leaves, red onion, fresh sliced baby bella (portabella mushrooms), red wine vinegar (no olive oil in today's salad!), salt and cracked black pepper and sprinkled with bacon bits (didn't feel like frying bacon today!)
