Ultimate Beef Nachos Recipes

SUPER NACHOS

Steps:

• Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water and simmer until beef mixture has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spread tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet; top with Cheddar cheese and dot with refried beans and ground beef mixture.
• Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, watching carefully to prevent burning, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Top nachos with salsa, sour cream, black olives, green onions, and jalapeno peppers.

ULTIMATE NACHO RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in ground beef. Use a spoon to break up the meat and cook 8 to 10 minutes until beef is fully cooked through. Drain excess grease. Add in taco seasoning, stir, and cook 60-90 seconds.
• Pour in water and add in refried beans. Stir to combine and cook until heated through. Keep warm.
• Spread chips out onto a baking sheet (or other desired oven-safe baking dish including a 9x13 pan, cast iron skillet, or even a pie plate).
• Sprinkle 2 cups of the cheese over the chips. Dot with the beef and bean mixture. Top with remaining 2 cups of cheese.
• Bake in the 350 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until cheese is fully melted.
• Remove from heat and add additional toppings as desired. Serve warm.

EPIC BEEF NACHOS SUPREME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven at 400 degrees.
• Meanwhile on the stovetop, brown the ground beef and diced onions over medium-high heat until fully cooked (about 8 minutes) and drain.
• Return the beef to the pan, and sprinkle on the taco seasoning.
• Stir in 3/4 cup water, bring it to a simmer, reduce heat and simmer until the liquid mostly evaporates, about 5 minutes.
• While the beef is cooking, add a generous layer of chips to two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Spoon on refried beans, half on each pan. These are thick, but I just add spoon fulls all over the chips. (The spoon fulls will spread with the heat of the oven.)
• Spoon on half the ground beef to each pan of chips.
• Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, and sprinkle on diced tomatoes and green onions.
• Serve immediately.

ULTIMATE SPICY BEEF NACHOS

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees.
• For the beans: Pulse ingredients in food processor until smooth. Transfer to bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
• For the beef: Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook onion until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beef and cook, breaking meat into small bits with wooden spoon and scraping pan bottom to prevent scorching, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, sugar, chile, and adobo sauce and cook until paste begins to darken, about 1 minute. Add water, bring to simmer, and cook over medium-low until mixture is nearly dry, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in lime juice and transfer mixture to plate lined with several layers of paper towels. Use more paper towels to blot up excess grease.
• To assemble: Spread half of chips on large serving platter or 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Dollop half of bean mixture over chips, then spread evenly. Scatter half of beef mixture over beans, top with 2 cups cheese and half of jalapeños. Repeat with remaining chips, beans, beef, cheese, and jalapeños. Bake until cheese is melted and just beginning to brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve with salsa and other suggested garnishes.
