Notes
- Ground beef can be cooked ahead of time, either seasoned or unseasoned. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
- If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can still make this recipe by using a disposable rectangular foil pan (think lasagna pan).
- Try not to cook these directly over an open flame. Instead, get your campfire going and once the coals are nice and hot, lay grill over top and cook your nachos.
