Dad's Easy Nacho Recipe

hey kids welcome to another edition of cooking with Dad it's Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow so I'm just going to walk you through how to make nachos cuz nachos are always a crowd pleaser and they're pretty simple I've I'm adding guac and I'm adding sour cream but you could just make tortilla chips with cheese on them and that'd be good but every time you add a little bit more they get a little bit better and make you look a little more special so but before we do that I do have a dad joke for you so did you hear about that cheesy super yeah he's called nacho Average Joe so anyway let's get started okay we need about a little over a pound of hamburger or a pound is fine too and this is how you make meat for tacos as well as for nachos so we add water to it and we're just going to boil it and you want to chop this up pretty fine if you've ever had a taco um I'm sure you have but the meat you don't usually have big chunks of meat it's usually chopped up pretty fine and this helps when you boil it like this and then we're going to add the taco seasoning in just a little bit and then you just let it boil and you let it simmer for quite a while so there's the taco seasoning we're just going to go ahead and pour that in and then just let it Steam for quite a while and then the steam will just the water will evaporate through the Steam and then your meat will be ready to go once we get there I'm going to go ahead and add another cup of water cuz I want to make sure it boils good to make sure that hamburger is cooked and it was evaporating a little too quickly [Music] all right it's been boiling for about 5 minutes let's go ahead and take that lid off take a look at it and we're going to leave the lid off but we want to make sure that meat is chopped up good and fine right and then eventually that steam will just all the water will evaporate through that Steam [Music] [Music] [Music] okay that looks good we're going to go ahead and remove it from the Heat and then it'll thicken up as we just set it on off to the [Music] side all right so when you're making nachos you just want to do them in layers it just makes it real nice and right and you want to try to get the ingredients spread out if you just put a whole bunch of chips down and threw a bunch of stuff on the top um it doesn't it's not as good cuz then there's lots of chips that don't have stuff on it so we're going to just do this in layers and this is these are actually my favorite chips um they're Wanita so you can use whatever chips are available to you but I really like these I think they're they hold up really well and I just really like the flavor of them so I'm just going to walk you through the way I put together my nachos all right we want to preheat our oven to 350 let's start by putting down one layer of chips [Music] all right we had our meat set aside now we're going to go ahead and add a layer of meat you can tell the meat's a little bit cool cuz the pan is not hot cuz I'm touching [Music] it now we're going to add a layer of cheese now we just want to make sure everything's covered we're putting in the meat and the chips all to make a good layer at the bottom and then we're going to add a little bit more cheese just to make sure it's good and covered and then we'll go ahead and we're going to add some kidney beans these red kidney beans that are sitting there on the [Music] [Music] side now we're going to add those red kidney beans you could add black beans you could use reff fried beans refried beans mixed in with the taco meat I've seen people do that as well you could add olives you just want to you know make sure that it matches the the taste buds of the rest of the nachos if you add something like pineapple I don't think that would go with it but whatever you want to do you can add add your ingredients here now we're going to go ahead and add the onions [Music] so we pretty much finished that first layer we'll go ahead and throw another layer and we're going to throw some chips [Music] down now we're going to go ahead and add a little bit more meat on the top of these chips [Music] we're going to add another layer of cheese [Music] [Music] some more red kidney [Music] beans I'm going to add a few green onions here but you can save most of these for garnishment at the end add a little more cheese I don't think you can ever have enough cheese all right we're ready to put it in the oven we're going to put it on the top rack of the oven the oven's preheated to 350° F and we're going to put it in there for 10 minutes just keep an eye on it you can go longer if you want but I think 10 minutes at 350 is perfect these are actually good to go right now but we're going to go ahead and add some garnishment we're going to put some cilantro on top then we're going to make some of the Pico Deo that I made you could just put onions and tomatoes if you want or leave this off it's up to [Music] you then we're going to add some walk all across the top it's a little hard to spread this you could just put this in one corner if you want and use it kind of as a dip if you'd like in case some people don't like [Music] quac now we're going to add the sour cream this is a little bit harder to spread you could get one of those like ketchup bottles that you can buy those plastic bottles and put it inside there and then squeeze it out you could get it to spread across a little bit easier that way but this will work and again you could put this off to the corner if you want if some people didn't like sour [Music] cream as a final touch we're going to go ahead and add the rest of our green onions [Music] and there it is it's a beautiful thing all right so I hope that was helpful to you uh like I said you can add whatever you want whatever you like you can do reff fried beans we did red kidney beans I've done olives before or you know you can just kind of make it your own whatever you like over the years we've added different things add the sour cream guac you can get store-bought guac I made homemade guac with the help of my wife um yeah so you just do it however you like it should be a nice little addition to your to your Super Bowl party I hope this was helpful for you thanks for watching and God bless you
