Ingredient Notes:
Before we dive in, a quick peek at what makes these Epic Beef Nachos Supreme live up to the hype:
-
Tortilla Chips: Grab the sturdy ones, not those sad paper-thin chips that crack under a refried bean.
-
Ground Beef: 80/20 blend for maximum flavor. Drain the fat, though — soggy nachos are illegal in my house.
-
Taco Seasoning: Store-bought, homemade, whatever’s easiest. No judgment.
-
Onion: Half an onion diced real fine. It sneaks into every bite and it’s chef’s kiss good.
-
Refried Beans: Adds creaminess and heft. Also, it’s like nacho glue. Essential.
-
Cheese: ALL the cheese. Don’t even try to skimp here.
-
Roma Tomatoes: Juicy but not soggy. They’re like the little jewels on top.
-
Green Onions: Fresh, crunchy, colorful. They’re the final confetti toss before the fiesta starts.
How To Make Epic Beef Nachos Supreme?
Step 1: Preheat the Heat
Get that oven cranking at 400°F (200°C). This party’s about to get hot.
Step 2: Cook the Beef & Onions
In a skillet, brown up a pound of ground beef with your diced onion until it smells like happiness. Drain off the grease — nobody wants an oil slick on their nachos.
Step 3: Spice It Up
Turn the heat down low and stir in your taco seasoning. Let it get all cozy and delicious for a few minutes.
Step 4: The First Layer of Magic
On a baking sheet, spread out a good layer of tortilla chips. Dollop the refried beans over the chips (yes, it’s messy — embrace it). Scatter half the beef mixture. Blanket it with half the cheese.
Step 5: Bake Till Bubbly
Slide that bad boy into the oven and let it bake for 10–15 minutes until the cheese looks like it’s ready for a food magazine cover.
