Notes
- Mix up the flavors to find the perfect party nachos. Try using chicken, steak, or adding avocado for a bright twist.
- Ground beef can be cooked ahead of time to make assembling this nacho recipe even quicker. Batch cook ground beef and store it in the fridge or freezer so that it is ready to go when you want to make this meal.
- It's best to shred cheese for this recipe from the block. Pre-shredded cheese has a coating on it that prevents it from melting completely and you definitely want melty cheese in this recipe.
- If you have picky eaters, you can wait to add the toppings. Serve toppings in small bowls and let everyone customize their nachos.
