I cook quite a bit, but living an hour from town, it's kind of a necessity if you want to eat. And I like to cook, but sometimes I need a break. I love a good sandwich, but we hardly ever eat them. On occasion, we love a good Reuben, or a Philly Cheese Steak, or a BLT, but for the most part, I cook. We eat our big meal at noon and then DH will eat something small at night.
However, a few years back I was visiting our girl and she made these nachos one night and they became an instant favorite for a treat at night once in a while or as part of a Mexican dinner when we have friends or family over. It really is a meal all by itself though. And if we eat it with an avocado, it's healthier. 😂
They are too good not to share.
Nachos
Tortilla Chips
Freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
Hot breakfast sausage, cooked
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
Tbsp of diced red onion
Pickled jalapenos
*Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Top with tortilla chips. Sprinkle liberally with freshly grated cheese. It just melts better than the pre-grated cheese. Sprinkle with sausage and black beans. Add red onion, pickled jalapenos, and cover with more grated cheese. Pop into a pre-heated oven (250) for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and dig in!
Hmm. I have a teenage grandson coming to stay and I'm a bit challenged about what to have around to cook. Wonder if he would like nachos......

We love nachos and I make mine almost exactly as you do--the red onion will be an interesting addition! We live 30 minutes from a town but there are no decent restaurants in that town--so I cook. We only eat out when we travel to the "big city"--Billings--for appointments and supplies.
ReplyDeleteWe love a plate of nachos with a pot of chili. No need for forks … the chips do the scooping. Yum!
