HOW TO MAKE NACHOS AND CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425º and line a large baking sheet with foil. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes, then add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, 6 minutes more. Drain fat. Add garlic and taco seasoning and season with salt. Cook until meat is well browned and slightly crispy, 5 minutes more. Add refried beans and water to skillet and stir until combined.  Add half the tortilla chips and top with beef-bean mixture, half the cheese, half the black beans, and half the pickled jalapeños. Repeat one more layer. Bake until cheese is melty, 15 minutes. Scatter with tomato, avocado, green onions, and cilantro. Drizzle with sour cream and hot sauce and serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the Super Melty Cheese Sauce, in a 2 quart saucepan, bring ½ cup water and the half-and-half to a simmer over medium heat, then add the Worcestershire and hot sauce
• Using a whisk, mix in the Velveeta a handful at a time until fully incorporated, then gradually add the remaining cheese
• Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth
• For the nachos, preheat the oven to 350°F
• On a rimmed baking sheet, spread the ingredients evenly and layer in the following order: tortilla chips, cheese sauce, black beans, protein and shredded cheddar
• Place in the oven or under the broiler until the cheese melts, about 4 minutes
• Remove from the oven, then scrape them into a cast iron skillet so they’re coated all over with the toppings
• Add the rest of desired toppings such as sour cream or crema, avocados, salsa rojo and/or pico de gallo, jalapeño and cilantro and serve
