Kitten’s Favorite Nachos
You won’t find a better nacho recipe than this one, I always have requests to make this from friends and family, make this as spicy as you like by using mild medium, spicy or extra spicy salsa
Notes from our test kitchen; if desired you could add in a can of drained black beans to the ground beef mixture, to serve more that 6 people I would suggest to make two recipes and serve on two separate platters
The ground beef mixture may be prepared up until here** just heat and continue with the recipe
Servings 6
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped (garlic lovers can use more!)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped (can omit or increase to two)
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2-3 tablespoons chili powder
1-1/2 cups refried beans (can use more)
salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 (16-ounce) jar salsa (choice of mild to extra spicy)
1-1/2 plus 3/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
tortilla chips (use as much as you like)
TOPPINGS:
sour cream
green onions
plum tomatoes, chopped
sliced black olives
Instructions:
In a skillet cook the beef with onions, garlic, jalapeno, green bell pepper and chili powder until beef is no longer pink; drain fat.
Continue cooking until the beef has browned (this may take about 10 minutes the beef should be lightly browned for the best flavor) season with seasoned salt and pepper towards the end of cooking.
Mix in the refried beans and salsa; cook stirring until heated through.
** at this point you may cool and refrigerate up to 1 day in advance, when ready to serve heat in a skillet and continue with the remainder of the recipe.
Remove from heat and stir in about 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Place the tortilla chips on a large platter or plate, then top with beef mixture.
Sprinkle the hot beef mixture with 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
Top with sour cream, green onions, tomatoes and sliced black olives.
