Beefy Nachos
I don’t know about you but I love a dish of loaded nachos. Sometimes Ken and I order them as our meal when we go out. They always provide more than enough food for both of us. Sometimes I make them at home. I’ve made them at home many times, each time using slightly different ingredients. It’s fun to change things up and add variety. I usually use shredded cheese when I make my nachos but this time I wanted creamy cheese. I know it’s better to make homemade cheese sauce, I make my own when I make my delicious baked macaroni and cheese, but since I was going to be making these nachos after a busy day at work, I went the simple route so I made the cheese sauce using a can of cheese sauce. I was actually able to find a regular 15oz sized can in the ethnic food section of the grocery store. It was a nice change to the ginormous sized cans that I usually see in the store. Anyways, these nachos were scrumptious and super simple to make. They are also gluten free (just make sure the chips you purchase are in fact gluten free) Enjoy the recipe.

You are after my own heart! We love nachos at my house and I made a top-your-own-nachos bar at my kids splash party a few weeks ago. For some reason I never thought about using the yummy cheese sauce I make for mac-and-cheese! I'll have to give that a try soon. I'm now following from the GFC blog hop and would love a follow back.
