Loaded beef nachos made with simple ingredients and have a whole lot of flavor. It's a great dish to make for game day parties because it feeds a crowd!
Make The Beef Nachos Loaded
Cheese and Tortilla chips taste great together but adding seasoned beef and delicious toppings such as jalapeno slices, green onions, and black beans really make for a delicious appetizer and it's filling, too!
I love serving my nachos with sour cream and guacamole for even more flavor.

Loaded Beef Nachos Are Easy Cleanup
Prepping the dish correctly ensures an easy clean-up and prevents the cheese from sticking to the dish. It also helps prevents burnt food!
It's really simple - just cut a piece of aluminum foil large enough to line the inside of your dish of choice of a baking dish or baking sheet.
I prefer to use a baking dish because I can make my nachos a little meatier because the dish is deeper. The choice is yours!
