BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Nachos + VIDEO - The Recipe Rebel (2)

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 atotally 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??

Ingredients

▢ 150 grams Large tortilla chips about ½ large bag
▢ 4 slices bacon chopped and cooked until crisp
▢ 1/2 lb ground beef
▢ 1/2 small onion chopped
▢ Salt and pepper to taste
▢ 1/8 cup + &frac13; cup barbecue sauce

These look amazing, and I NEVER put cheese first, always my protein (usually beans) and everything falls apart. Why didn’t I think of that before?! 🙂

These are off the hook, Ashley, and thanks for the pointers. I never make nachos as I would probably eat them all in one sitting — not pretty! These would be a hit at my house!

For sure a balanced meal. I mean, you even have lettuce on top, so it’s almost like a salad! Haha, but I love nachos and this is a genius idea!

I just watched the episode of Parks and Recreation where Andy’s band complains because he doesn’t melt the cheese on the nachos he makes for them. I love making nachos. They’re really the perfect snack especially for a crowd. The bbq flavor is totally up my alley. I’d probably throw a few jalapenos on the chips to spice things up a bit. Have a wonderful weekend!
