Nachos for a Crowd (or only a few)

I'm not sure I've seen a happier bride.

The groom had a few nerves, but not too bad,

Especially when he and his best man got a chance to have some fun for the photographer before the wedding. :)

But Jacob and Katie are married now, and the wedding was perfect.

We even had the groom's favorite for the wedding cake - Cheesecake!

I didn't get a picture of the nachos, though. I remembered to take the emergency kit to the church: needles, thread, double sided tape, duct tape, stapler, bandaids, alcohol wipes.... But no camera.

So you'll have to use your imagination!

This is Katie's recipe, and it was super simple and delicious!

Nachos for a Crowd (or only a few)

ingredients:

ground beef
taco seasoning
nacho cheese

tortilla chips

Toppings:
sour cream
chopped onions
chopped tomatoes
shredded cheese
jalapeno slices
black olives
lettuce


The amounts you use depends on the number of people you are serving. We were planning for 80-100 people, so we used 12 pounds of ground beef. For a family, you'd use only one pound.

Brown the ground beef until it's thoroughly cooked. Add the taco seasoning (1 package per pound of ground beef) and cook according to the package directions.

Add the nacho cheese - the canned stuff. We used one #10 can per 6 pounds of ground beef.
So one pound of cheese, or a 12 ounce jar or can, per pound.

Heat the cheese and ground beef together and keep warm while serving. We used my big roaster.

Serve buffet style with the chips and toppings.

This was a hit. So informal, and everyone just helped themselves.

A great day, all around.
