Big Daddy Nachos Recipe

As I mentioned in my 2009 NFL Week 1 Predictions post, we have added a new item to the menu here on Sunday’s for our usual football Sunday celebration, the first menu item ever to be put on the list was Lisa’s Famous Chili.

The item I wanted to add to the football Sunday menu this year was a nice heaping pile of baked Nachos, layered of course. Now before I post the recipe for my Big Daddy Nachos I think it’s important that you know I really don’t measure any of this out, I throw it together and it comes out how it comes out.

Big Daddy Nachos Recipe

• 1lb of 98% Lean Ground Beef
• 1lb of Cut Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
• 4 Cups of Mild Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 1/2 Onion Sliced thin
• Bacon Bits
• Shredded Lettuce
• Diced Tomato
• Giant bag of Tostitos Chips
• Taco Seasoning
• Pepper
• Salt

Brown ground beef in a large pan and sprinkle Taco seasoning into onto the meat, make sure you stir in the Taco seasoning so it flavors all of the ground beef.

On a medium flame add small cut pieces of chicken breast into a small pan with olive oil coating the bottom of the pan, season lightly with pepper and salt.

Make sure you drain the ground beef and the chicken before moving on to the next step, the chicken should not have any pink showing in order to ensure it is cooked thoroughly.

Empty half of the Tostitos bag on to a large cookie sheet and spread the chips out to cover the entire cookie sheet, sprinkle chicken, ground beef, onions and two cups of cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the chips. Be sure not to use all of the ground beef, cheese, onions or chicken on during this step, Big Daddy Nachos are layered and you will need more of the toppings for the final layer.

After adding your desired toppings, spread the rest of the Tostitos chips across the layer of toppings you just put on the first layer of chips. Sprinkle the remaining chicken, onions, cheese and ground beef evenly across the top of the new layer of chips. I recommend that the last layer that you place on your Big Daddy Nachos is the cheddar cheese, it helps hold everything together as everyone dives into the chips.

Sprinkle the final layer of everything with a desired amount of salt and pepper, place cookie sheet into a pre-heated oven on the top shelf at 375 degrees, you should bake at this temperature for approximately 13 minutes. Cooking time may vary based on how baked you prefer your chips and cheese, all though I would recommend keeping the chips in the oven until the cheese has melted.

After you pull the chips out of the oven (use a glove dumby), sprinkle the desired amount of chopped tomatoes and shredded lettuce on top of your chips and serve.

Now I know there are a few things that people would like to add and change about this recipe, feel free to leave a comment with your suggested change or added item that should be thrown onto the Big Daddy Nachos. I hope everyone enjoys the start of the 2009 football season and if you use the Big Daddy Nacho recipe be sure to leave a comment and let everyone know how you liked it, you can tell them you hated it too if you want to
