First up, for that amazing savory base, you’ll need:

• About 1/2 cup of water to get that taco sauce just right.

Then for the crunchy, cheesy goodness:

• 1 big bag of tortilla chips. Seriously, don’t skimp here!
• 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Colby Jack is great too if you want a mix!
• 1/2 cup of black beans, make sure they’re rinsed and drained real good.
• About 1/2 cup of corn – frozen or canned works just fine.
• 1/4 cup of red onion, finely chopped. It adds such a fresh bite!
• And don’t forget those sliced black olives – a must for me!

And of course, the fun part – optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or a few jalapeños if you like a little kick!

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Beef Nachos Supreme

Alright, let’s get this party started and make some truly incredible Beef Nachos Supreme! It’s honestly way easier than you might think, and the result is out-of-this-world delicious.

Preparing the Savory Beef Topping

First things first, we gotta get that beef perfect. Grab a skillet and brown your pound of ground beef over medium-high heat. Make sure you break it all up as it cooks. Once it’s nicely browned, and this is important, drain off any excess grease – we want flavor, not sogginess! Then, stir in that packet of taco seasoning and the 1/2 cup of water. Give it a good mix, bring it to a gentle simmer, and let it bubble away for about 5 minutes. You’ll see it thicken up into a lovely, rich sauce. This beef is going to be the heart of your nacho masterpiece! Craving more beef ideas? Check out this garlic butter beef recipe.

Assembling Your Beef Nachos Supreme

Now for the fun part – building your nacho mountain! Grab a baking sheet (a big one!) and spread out your whole bag of tortilla chips in one even layer. Try not to have too many overlapping, but don’t stress if a few do. Next, spoon that amazing seasoned beef mixture all over those chips. Don’t be shy! Then, sprinkle on your shredded cheddar cheese, followed by the rinsed black beans, corn, chopped red onion, and those yummy sliced black olives.

Baking and Finishing the Beef Nachos Supreme

Pop that loaded baking sheet into your preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Let it bake for just about 8 to 10 minutes. You’re looking for that cheese to be all melted and bubbly, maybe even a little golden brown in spots. If you like your nachos extra crispy, like I do, feel free to leave them in for another couple of minutes. Once they’re out, you can add all your favorite toppings right on top – think dollops of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, creamy guacamole, or if you’re feeling brave, some sliced jalapeños! Dig in right away!

Tips for the Best Beef Nachos Supreme

Okay, if you want to take your Beef Nachos Supreme from good to absolutely legendary, here are a few tricks I’ve picked up over the years. First off, don’t skimp on the chips! A thicker, sturdier tortilla chip holds up way better to all that delicious beef and cheese. Try to spread them out in a single layer on your baking sheet before adding toppings – this helps everything get nice and melty without cooking unevenly. And for that perfectly seasoned beef, make sure you drain it really well after browning; nobody wants soggy nachos! Want more crispy goodness inspiration?

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions for Nachos Supreme

Let’s talk ingredients for your Beef Nachos Supreme! The taco seasoning is super important for that classic flavor, but sometimes I like to mix my own with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder – just play around with it until you love it! If ground beef isn’t your thing, you can totally switch it up. Ground turkey or chicken works wonderfully, and for a vegetarian twist, seasoned black beans or even some crumbled extra-firm tofu are fantastic. Don’t be afraid to mix up your cheeses too; a Monterey Jack or a spicy Pepper Jack adds a nice kick! Looking for more ways to use chicken? You might enjoy my chicken cottage cheese enchilada recipe!

If you want a side, you can’t go wrong with a simple side salad or some amazing Mexican street corn soup. Honestly though, these nachos are usually so loaded, they’re a meal all on their own, especially for a party! Just make sure you have plenty of napkins ready!
