NACHO RECIPE WITH QUESO RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook and crumble beef over medium heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes; drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally., In an ungreased 13x9-in. baking pan, layer a third each of the following: chips, beans, beef mixture and queso dip. Repeat layers twice., Bake, uncovered, until heated through, 10-15 minutes. Top with tomatoes and, if desired, chives; serve immediately with sour cream on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a rack on the second-to-top position.
• Spread out the tortilla chips on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until the chips are warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and keep in the warm oven until you are ready to assemble the nachos. 
• For the 3-cheese queso: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapenos and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup of the milk to combine, and then stir in the flour to combine and cook until lightly browned and thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the remaining milk and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheeses until melted. Season with salt, black pepper and hot sauce. 
• To serve, spread out the warm tortilla chips on a large platter. Drizzle all over with the 3-cheese queso and serve immediately.
