Delicious Nachos Supreme

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Perfect party food! --- this is one of my all time favorite nacho recipes that I have made many times in the past, and I guarantee you will love this! --- all amounts may be adjusted to taste and double the recipe if desired but keep the garlic no more than 2 tablespoons, if you really want to go all out add in a can of drained black beans to the ground beef mixture! 1/2 pound Italian sausages with casings removed can be mixed with the ground beef if desired, to turn up the heat use a package of taco seasoning mix or spicy salsa and add in cayenne or dried chili flakes --- for the best flavor make certain to brown the meat well :)"

Rarely do you make a recipe and say, "That was absolutely awesome".....this is it....I have used ground burger and turkey with excellent results....

Awesome! Made using ground elk, left out the bell pepper and used the taco mix. Served it with homemade cheese sauce from Rachel Ray- 1 T. melted butter, 1 T. flour, 1 c. skim milk, handful (approx. 1/2 c.) shredded cheddar. Sauce amount meant for 2-4 people. Thanks for posting, I will definately make again & am very glad we have leftovers!

Great recipe!!! Although I made a few minor changes that made them even more awesome...I add the chili powder as written, but I also added about 2-3 tablespoons of tex-mex seasoning, 1/4 tsp of cayenne powder and 1 tablespoon of cumin to the meat mixture....They were so great!!!

These were awesome. Made them on Fathers Day for the family. They all but licked the plate. Left out the jalapeno (kids), used red instead of green on the pepper (it's all I had) and used the taco mix. I popped it all in a 350 oven til the cheese was melted and Gone..Gone..Gone! Thanks again.

These were so good! I always get, "Is this a "Kittencal"?" You really can't go wrong when you chose a "Kittencal" recipe! I really didn't think there was much to a nacho recipe. I was wrong! It really makes a difference to mix the meat and beans together, with a portion of the cheese ect. Thanks for posting this great recipe! :)
