Mom, sis and I used to watch 6 hours of "Dr. Who" every Sunday when we
lived in Colorado. Mom always made a big dish of Nachos to munch while
we watched it.

It's an wonderful memory. :-)

Here is how she did it:

In the bottom of a medium sized glass baking dish (10"x12") dump one can
of refried beans. Flatten it well. Chop a couple of tomatoes and layer
it over that. Place corn tortilla chips liberally over that layer, then
top with lots and lots of shredded cheddar cheese.

Place in the microwave and nuke until all the cheese is well melted.

Top that with alternating stripes of Guacamole and sour cream.

Dip the chips as you pull them out deeply into the beans as you eat
them.

Have extra chips on hand for the leftover cheese and beans.

You don't need a recipe for nachos.

Cover a pizza pan with good quality tortilla chips. Coat liberally with
shredded pepper jack. Sprinkle with jalapenos. Heat. Eat. It's that simple.

This is how I make them, although I put the jalapenos under the
cheese.

I also cover the pizza pan with foil and spray it with Pam for easy
cleanup
(and ease of scraping up any dribbles of cheese that I might want to
eat).

I never thought of using foil and Pam. Great idea. I hate cleaning up
the stuck on cheese afterwards.

I just put the pan in the dishwasher. I wouldn't want to waste foil for
it (both cost of purchasing foil and extra waste in the landfill if not
recycled).

I don't use a dishwasher (unless you count my husband ;-) and I make
nachos maybe 3 or 4 times a year so the few inches of foil doesn't seem
like a huge waste to me and I do recycle.as much as I can. Luckily I
live in a town that takes just about everything for recycling.

Now that I think about it, I don't really use much foil anyway and I
will probably forget the foil anyway the next time I make nachos. ;-)

Here's a really radical idea, use a paper plate and the microwave. Takes a
minute and there's nothing to wash and paper is biodegradable.

Yea, my son has been known to do that for a snack, but I don't keep
paper plates around much.
When I make nachos, it is usually for a crowd so a paper plate won't
really work anyway.

I like the cheese to get some brown bits - does the micro cheese get
brown at all?

I'd also add a little hot salsa or provide it for dipping. Messy
perhaps but good!

Beef or chicken marinated or simmered in taco type seasoning is also a
good addition. I also like some green onions. And serve with sour
cream, salsa and either guac or just avocado slices.

Get a #10lb can of Rico's Nacho Cheese sauce:
http://ricos.com/products_cheese_chili.htm

Open a 2.5lb of Rico's round corn chips:
http://ricos.com/products_chips.htm

Pour in the nacho sauce, shake vigorously, and enjoy.

I don't like microwaved food. I use the nuke only for green beans and
for
giving some frozen foods (raspberries, bread) a gentle head start on
defrosting.
Like, 15 seconds worth.

And I don't use paper plates. I feel that washing real plates is less
of a burden
on the environment.

Oh, well, that goes without saying. I left the whole topic of
"decoration"
to the reader's discretion. The OP seemed to focus on chips and
cheese.
(Some nachos I've seen in restaurants seem to have everything in the
fridge on them, and are really just a bit too much for me.)

I like salsa on the side, and often a couple of tablespoons of sour
cream.
Putting it on the nachos makes them soggy, to my way of thinking.

Mmm. Wet, soggy nachos. Apparently you've never actually done this (or
don't remember how it turned out).

Put the beans on the bottom or heat them separately. And wait to put
the jalapenos until after they're out of the oven.

You are right, about the tortilla chips getting soggy from the beans.
If I am making chilaquiles for breakfast, I do not mind if the beans
make some of the chips soft. Not sure I would like that on nachos, though.

If you use the real heavy all-cardboard ones (like some Chinets),
washing the dishes is worse for the environment, because that kind of
paper plate is fully biodegradable.

Have you taken into account the upstream effects of paper processing?
They're horrendous. It's not all about landfills.

In any event, hardly anything biodegrades in a landfill. They're
pretty
anaerobic. (If things biodegraded in landfills, all of the ski slopes
in
southeast Michigan would collapse.)

I do love them with re-fried beans and I don't care if some get a bit
soggy. As usual this group helped me plan dinner. I tossed some
black beans on with a few slices of bacon I had leftover from Nancy2's
baked potato soup I made Sunday. I'll just sprinkle some of them over
the nachos before I bake them and there will be no sogginess. <is that
a word?> I've got sour cream, fresh japs, salsa, and loads of
cheddar. It's goona be good and I don't care what anyone else says.
I might even try some sport peppers on the side too so my butt can
burn in the morning. Oh, I'm going to toss some black olives on there
too.

Here's a video recipe of a nacho appetizer. I'm guessing there are
probably other ones on the site too - its a pretty cool site...

We have something like that about once a year but
I make it on a platter in layers:

refried beans
ground beef browned with burrito or taco seasoning
chopped tomato, black olives, chiles or pickled jalapeno slices
heavy layer of coarsely shredded Monterrey Jack cheese or your favorite
(optional: minced sweet onion or green onion)

Run under the broiler or in the microwave until the cheese is melted,
serve with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole or chopped avocado and your
favorite corn chips.

Yum! I put black olives up as a taco ingredient as well.

I take a piepan and line it with foil, and put a healthy amount of
tortilla chips on, then use either leftover chili (well drained) or
leftover taco meat (beef or chicken) that has been nuked, top that
with Jalapenos and cheese, and put it in a 350 oven for about ten
minutes until the cheese is all melted. I top it with sour cream,
salsa and guac, and eat it right out of the pan. You can also use
canned chili like Armour.

Default Anybody know a good homemade Nacho Recipe

> Im looking for a recipe on how to make Nachos


BTW, here's the story of how nachos bagan.

Back in the 1960s, some Army wives from Laredo drove across the border to
Nuevo Laredo and stopped at a little Mexican cafe. It was mid afternoon,
and, as is the custom in Mexico, there was really nothing doing at that
time of day. The owner of the place, a guy nicknamed Nacho, was duly
embarrassed, and promised the ladies he would whip up something.

In desperation and haste, he found a bag of tortilla chips. He dumped
them on a pan, grated some cheese over them, added some jalapenos and
salsa, and popped them in the oven. He brought it out to them,
apologetically telling them that "all I have this time of day are our
Nachos."

The wives loved the new dish, and raved about it to all their friends
back in Texas. It quickly caught on as a local favorite.

Fast forward to 1970. Brand new Texas Stadium, and the owner really
wanted a signature food item that no other stadium had. Someone suggested
nachos. He thought it was a great idea, but there was no way to handle
them in a fast food environment by having to cook them in an oven. Takes
too long. So, he went home, and all by himself, developed the liquid
cheese product that made nachos viable as a fast food item.

Some of you older people may remember watching Monday Night Football back
in it's first season, and wondering just what Dandy Don Meredith was
talking about when he described a great play as "a real nacho." Now, you
know.

I also have a great story about the origin of chimichagas.

Uh, no. I think I understood your post the first time. And my
response was pretty clear based on your description of your method.

But thanks for trying to clarify <cough> whatever it was you were
trying to say.

I feel humiliated.

(And I know you're using Sierra Brand canned refried beans, BTW)

Not unless you burn it. However, melted in the microwave is just
fine.

Ski slopes? HA! When I moved from Michigan, the Eastern side was
flat.

Sounds better than mine! I serve sliced black olives as a taco
ingredient, but I tend to forget about them with nachos... I'll have to
remember that.

Texans have this dish called Frito Pie. You rib open a bag of
Fritos along the lengthwise seam and top with chili, diced onions,
and cheese. Then eat it [with a fork] right out of the bag.

This is one of the reasons they're called Texan's.

Oh, that brings back memories! Friday night high school football games.
Those were a favorite with everyone at the concession stands on cool
Fall nights. That and those runny cheese nachos.

And it still is. Mount Brighton is built on an old landfill. That's
why people
call it Mount Trashmore. I don't think that Pine Knob was, though.

You're just shifting the problem from where you use the paper plate
to where the paper was processed. Of course, pollution that is
not in your backyard isn't pollution at all, is it?

I live in Michigan, smack in the center of the Great Lakes. Our waste
treatment
plant claims that the water leaving it is cleaner than the water
entering the
upstream drinking water treatment plant. That's good for the millions
of
people downstream (Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, Toronto, etc.) that
drink what
we send them.

Not for me. I abhor microwaved food.
