Ingredients

▢ 12 oz tortilla chips standard size bag - restaurant quality
▢ 1 lb lean ground beef cooked, crumbles
▢ 8 oz cheddar cheese shredded
▢ 1 package taco seasoning purchased, or use homemade
▢ 8 oz guacamole
▢ 8 oz salsa
▢ green onions, sour cream, corn, red or green peppers, refried beans, black olives, pico de gallo, and cilantro optional toppings

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF
In a large frying pan, heat up (or cook) your hamburger crumbles. In a small container, mix ½ cup water and taco seasoning. Add to cooked hamburger crumbles. Simmer on medium heat, stirring regularly until water has evaporated.
Spread seasoned ground beef crumbles on chips. Evenly spread the shredded cheese on the chips. Don't forget those chips around the edges!
Place pan in preheated oven. As your beef nachos are heating up, set out toppings. Watch to see when the cheese has melted and it's ready to pull out of the oven and serve. This normally takes 10ish minutes. I prefer to just watch for the cheese to be melted rather than use a timer
If everyone loves the same toppings, add them on top before serving. In my household, everyone has different favorites, so I serve the toppings on the side.
