It’s confession time again.
I need to tell you guys that I’ve failed at nachos.
I know, it’s a little embarrassing. But I figure it’s important for you to know that I would go to the ends of the earth to bring you a fantastic nacho recipe.
Or I would at least make them 3 times.
And, you know, it’s funny. The husband didn’t complain at all when we had nachos for lunch 3 times.
So as someone who can make bad nachos, let me give you a few pointers ?
How to make nachos (BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Nachos!)
- You want good chip coverage on the bottom of the pan. Choose nice large chips for your bottom layer. You don’t want any of those delicious toppings falling through!
- Hold the sauce. Even though I like sauce, a lot, I kept the meat fairly dry. I added just enough barbecue sauce to keep the meat moist and give it a nice barbecue flavor. Too saucy meat = soggy chips. Drizzle extra sauce on top for big flavor that’s not going to make your chips mushy!
- Cheese first. Probably 99.9% of you know this already, but if you put the cheese on the chips and then the toppings, they will all stick together!
So maybe you’re like me and you haven’t actually made nachos a bazillion times in your life and you might have thought about putting the cheese on top, or maybe you’re already a nacho connoisseur and you just want to laugh at my inexperience, there you have it.
Perfect BBQ nachos.
But is anything perfect without bacon? I think not.
Guys, these are just totally amazing. I mean, cheeseburger NACHOS. And with all that protein, I think they count as a totally balanced meal. Am I right?
If more is more for you, I’d consider slathering them in this nacho cheese sauce before topping. I mean, why not right??
