    For the Meat

    • Ground beef
    • Garlic powder
    • Onion powder
    • Salt and pepper
    • Cheddar cheese soup (canned)

    For the Nachos:

    🔪 How to Make The Best Loaded Nachos

    Step 1 – Cook the Cheesy Beef:
    Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Season it with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Once cooked, drain the extra grease. Stir in the cheddar cheese soup and heat until warm and creamy. Set it aside.

    Step 2 – Layer the Nachos:
    Place tortilla chips on a large oven-safe plate or baking pan. Spoon the cheesy beef mixture over the chips. Add shredded cheddar on top and drizzle with nacho cheese sauce if you like extra cheese.

    Step 3 – Melt the Cheese:
    Put the nachos under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Step 4 – Add the Toppings:
    Take the nachos out of the oven. Add salsa, jalapeños, guacamole, and sour cream on top. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if you like.

    ⭐ Pro Tips for Perfect Loaded Nachos⭐

    • Don’t overload the chips or they’ll get soggy—build in layers if needed.
    • Use thick chips that can handle all the toppings.
    • Make it a meal by adding black beans, corn, or even rice.
