Nachos

Tuesday, September 3, 2024
Fully Loaded Nachos never last long. They are a favorite in our house for lunch or dinner and a great use for leftover taco meat you might have on hand. It wouldn't be game day without  Nachos Supreme with everything on 'em and I'm lucky if the pan last more than a few seconds as a Super Bowl Appetizer.  I like to make an easy homemade nacho cheese sauce for over the top because it just makes them so good.

These Fully Loaded Nachos Supreme has Taco Seasoned Ground Beef, Refried Beans, Cheesy Nacho Cheese Sauce, Pickled Jalapeños, Olives, and whatever other toppings your heart desires.. These Nachos are also delicious made with Slow Cooked Pork Carnitas, Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa or left over Shredded Beef Enchilada Meat

L.J.'s been begging me for over a week to make my recipe for  Fully Loaded Nachos, so we made Nachos instead of Taco's for Taco Tuesday. So I guess we had Nacho Tuesday, it might be a new thing in our house because I've already had multiple requests to have Fully Loaded Nachos again. 

These Nachos are super simple to make and great for those busy weeknights with the kids back-to-school, the whole family will love. We also love these for an easy lunch on the weekend. It's a super simple meal packed with plenty of flavor! 

Ground Beef and Onions cooking in a cast iron pan.

In a large skillet brown 1 pound Ground Beef and 1 medium sized Diced Onion over medium-high heat. Drain off excess fat.

Stir in:
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Add 1/2 cup Water and cook until ground beef is cooked through and most the water had evaporated.

Melted butter and flour stirred together in a stainless steel saucepan to make nacho cheese sauce.

To make the Nacho Cheese Sauce in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat add 2 tablespoons Butter and stir until melted. 

Whisk in 2 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour and cook until flour starts to bubble.


Slowly stir in: 
  • 3/4 cup Chicken Stock
  • 3/4 cup Milk
Bring to a simmer and stir until thickened about 2-3 minutes.

Fill a large rimmed baking sheet with your favorite Tortilla Chips. Cover with Taco Seasoned Ground Beef and 16 ounces Heated Refried Beans. 

Cover Ground Beef with 16 ounces Heated Refried Beans or drained and rinsed Black Beans. Cover with Nacho Cheese Sauce.

Jalapeños being sprinkled over Fully Loaded Nachos.

If you like spicy Fully Loaded Nachos you can sprinkle 1/2-1 whole Diced Jalapeño and a 2-3 tablespoons Diced Pickled Jalapeños over the top. We usually will add the jalapeños this way so if anyone doesn't like the heat we can make a non-spicy section.

Top with your favorite toppings like:
  • 1 cup Sliced Black Olives over the top
  • 1/2 head Finely Sliced Romaine Lettuce
  • 1 whole Diced Tomato
  • 1-2 whole Diced Avocado
  • 1 handful chopped Cilantro.
Serve with Pico De Gallo, your favorite salsa and sour cream if desired.

 Dig in and enjoy. By far my all time favorite Fully Loaded Nachos.

Don't forget to make a batch of Raspberry Margaritas or Slushy Mango Margaritas to serve along side these Nachos.
