Kori's Tips

  • Don't miss all of our helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes found in our post. Check it out!
  • TOP TIPS: You'll get a more even distribution of meat, cheese, and chips if you create multiple layers - three layers work the best for this recipe. If you plan on removing the nachos after baking, line the basket with a strip of foil with some foil left out so you can easily lift them out and transfer them to a plate.
  • SUBSTITUTIONS: Feel free to use any favorite nacho topping. Use ground or shredded chicken or pork seasoned with taco seasoning instead of ground beef.
  • SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve immediately. Perfect as a hearty appetizer or main dish for dinner.
