This is almost the exact recipe that I use for nachos. Helpful hint...mix the beans with the seasoned beef. Beans alone are sometimes difficult to spread.

I like to make this using ground turkey or ground chicken and I like to use either tomato juice or tomato sauce instead of water when I combine the taco seasoning with the browned ground meat. I use homemade taco seasoning, homemade refried beans, homemade salsa in this recipe--that really takes it to a whole other level. My boys absolutely love this. It's great for those weekends when nothing in the cupboard sounds good for lunch/dinner and you just want something fun. GREAT "dad's cooking!" meal.

Great recipe. The only change I made was add the beans to the meat mixture. Careful with the broiling time, mine took only 3 minutes. For toppings I used (after it came out of the oven): green chili's, black olives, green onion, sour cream and salsa. I will never make nachos in the microwave again, oven only. Absolutely Delicious.

YUM! I layered everything except the salsa and sour cream and threw it under the broiler until browned and bubbly (didn't measure anything, just did it all to taste). I also added some diced tomatoes and used chopped jalapenos instead of sliced (for more even distribution). This was a perfect quick, fun dinner for tonight...hubby raved! I will be making this again! Thanks for sharing. :)

Very easy and tasty. Used the suggestion to cook the beans with the meat and taco seasoning. Here in Texas we commonly use canned charro beans (in jalapeno liquid) or borracho beans (in a beer and water liquid)rather than refried beans. Drained the liquid off the beans before adding it to the meat. Did not measure the amount of shredded cheddar cheese, just covered the meat and the chips. No left-overs, darn. debmo

I tried this recipe but will go back to my old standard. I make up my super chili with beans in huge batches and one of the things I use it for is topping for nachos. I don't use taco seasoning as it is too salty. Then I add all the toppings mentioned in this recipe. Microwave works fine also.

This is the best nacho recipe ever! Because of this wonderful recipe I have become known as the 'Nacho Man.'
05/07/2012
I cooked ground beef, taco mix, water, refried bean and salsa as in the instruction and eat it with tortilla. So easy to make and tastes very good!
05/05/2012
I love loaded nachos. You can add shredded chicken to which you heat through with BBQ sauce to taste. Delicious!
05/29/2013
This is the recipe I use every time I make nachos! So quick and easy. However, I use ground turkey instead of ground beef and added avocado on top. I used to painstakenly spread the beans on EVERY chip but when I read some of the reviews last night someone had suggested mixing the beans in with the meat. Genius! I'll continue to do that from now on. Great recipe!
08/24/2013
when i make nachos my man realy likes meat so what i do is i brown half ground beef and half ground sausage and instead of shredded cheese i use nacho cheese from can with everything else of course he just gobbles it up!!

Used "Homeemade Taco Seasoning Mix" from this site and loved it. Did mix the refried beans with the ground beef before putting on chips, and added one chopped jalepeno to the meat while cooking. Hit the spot.
06/28/2012
Very good next time I will make half of this amount.
02/03/2013
A really good basic nacho recipe!
02/13/2014
I just tried it. The dish was easy to make and really delicious. I did add some chopped union garnish with the lettuce and tomatoes as my wife loves onion. We both loved it. Thanks! Walter
04/03/2013
Followed this recipe with the exception of Taco Seasoning. I used Burrito Seasonig instead and it was a HUGE hit. Otherwise the rest of the recipe was awesome. Made it for Superbowl, again in February and My son has been begging me to make it again....so tonight is NACHO NIGHT... thanks for the recipe....awesome, yummy, can't wait to eat........

This was delicious! I have been looking for a good base recipe for nachos and this was perfect. I did mix my refried beans into the hamburger mixture as recommended and also added some black beans to that mixture. I added white onions to the hamburger because I didn't have any green onions. I used mild Ro*Tel diced tomatoes with green chilies in place of salsa. I layered the chips, hamburger mixture, tomatoes and olives, and cheese. Yummy!
04/01/2014
My 11 year-old loves this dish making it a good choice when I get tired of rejection! ;)
08/31/2012
Beyond the ground beef, cheese and chips my ingredients were different but I followed the process. Turned out great.
08/17/2012
Made these tonight and they were another hit for us, loved them! I usually don't like refried beans, but I took suggestions from other reviews and mixed them in with the ground meat (I used turkey meat). My family loved them.
06/21/2015
This recipe is perfect as is, but I often leave off the beans and salsa and I add lettuce, tomato and sour cream. I mix it up from time to time. This is a great way to use leftover taco meat that somehow always ends up thrown out. My husband looks forward to nachos the day after we have tacos!
07/10/2014
Made a Homemade Taco Seasoning, prefer whole black beans. I place nacho place meat and beans then cheddar cheese. place in microwave for 30-45 seconds to melt cheese and hold everything together then dress them up. Thanks, Happy Cooking!
06/16/2017
I added the beans to the meat mixture before spreading. This is delicious!
02/05/2018
This recipe is easy and great just as written! The second time I made it I changed up the beans and went with black beans instead of refried. Liked it better with black beans!
02/08/2016
Super delicious! Makes a ton and so easy and quick too. Watch the broiler really carefully. Mine was done in 2 minutes.
11/21/2013
It was an okay recipe. If I make it next time, I will half the chips. I will be using another recipe or creating my own next time.
04/07/2014
This turned out great. I had leftover taco meat so I used that. Yummy!! We will be having this again.
09/22/2016
Good recipe but definitely missing important ingredient. Guacamole. Thats the way they servee them at my favorite Mexican restaurant. Also, minus black olives, but I Liked them with
07/06/2014
Quick, easy and delicious. I followed the recipe as written. I did use the hint from another reviewer to mix the beans with the meat before spreading. The whole family enjoyed it#
03/12/2016
Mods: used 2 cups cheese, omitted the black olives, and made in two pans instead of one. This was delicious. We will have this again.
03/15/2015
Excellent and easy. Followed directions from recipe and reviews. Cooked as directed and added all toppings my family likes,olives, onions, cilantro, scallions , shredded lettuce, and salsa. Will make again. Thank you!
05/22/2019
I made this it was great, will make again
08/01/2014
Aug12014 Easy quick & goof dflavor
02/05/2018
I improvised on these and added some extra stuff like sour cream and guacamole. AWESOME!
02/11/2018
Followed the recipe, except that I don't have the taco seasoning, but it still went well, we all love it!
08/21/2015
I just made this today and I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how great these nachos came out. I will definitely be making them again
02/11/2021
Made for the best nachos for the Super Bowl. Was glad to see Tom Brady win #7 while entertaining my guests with these over the top nachos.
03/30/2021
I made this recipe for dinner tonight and it was perfect; no changes at all!
02/07/2021
I tried using lime tortillas, 1 lb. extra sharp cheddar, the meat as described, bunch of fresh cilantro, black olives, mild banana peppers(on half and jalapeno on the other half). I also used 2 cans of Ro Tel . All ingredients well drained and spread through out the layers. I baked this at 400 degrees for 6 minutes . Added the light sour cream and cilantro on the top after it was baked. I also squirted the top with fresh lime juice. It was absolutely delicious. The lime tortillas I bought at Aldies for a fraction of the cost but it is a smaller bag 13 oz. It was not at all soggy. Drain well!!!
07/08/2019
I made it as advertised. I used a 1/2 bag of stale chips but the meat , beans, cheese and salsa made them fresh. A hearty "snack" for my wife and I and leftovers for work.
12/17/2017
This one was a hit at our house. the kids loved digging in. We did mix the refried beans with the meat and it was a lot easier to spread. One of the kids suggested that I use more cheese some on the bottom layer and some more sprinkled on top. Also more veggies in the form of lettuce and tomatoes was requested. We might try those ideas next time.
02/02/2019
Great recipe! A little messy but, delicious.
01/05/2019
Tastes great but how do you serve these nachos? We had to eat right from the cookie sheet out of the oven. Also, everything was stuck together and it was tough eating. We ate them though but would like a suggestion as to how to get them on a plate for individual use or maybe even make individual servings as there are only 2 of us in my household. Thanks for sharing, Great recipe!
09/05/2016
This was a great, easy to follow recipe for someone who has never made nachos before.
02/25/2019
Followed the recipe exactly. Loved it tremendously
05/05/2017
okay the nachos are great---i screwed up, i read a couple reviews that said 'no worries, the microwave is fine, no problem'---wrong!! the recipe says bake in the oven for a reason! do that! unless you want a soggy bottom. the nuker is fine for nachos that are simply cheeses levelled several times. add anything more, like salsa, refried beans, or hamburger & it has to take its sweet time in the oven. trust me. & thank you for the recipe, it's great & next time i will simply pop in the oven & wait...way better deal than soggy nachos. ;-)
12/09/2016
I am not a fan of olives but this tasted great. I love nachos and this is a way to make them better with only a few added ingredients. Even my younger sister loved these and she isn't a fan of beans.
01/22/2016
This is how mine turned out. Lol I'm the only one that eats olives. Didn't use sour cream, green onion and beans. Used corn oil instead of water as well. Very easy recipe!
03/02/2020
These nachos are the absolute best I've ever had! So easy to make. Soooooo filling! This will always be my go to recipes for nachos!
01/13/2019
Great! Mixed beans with meat as others suggested; otherwise followed exactly.
02/03/2014
Loved it! Made super bowl great!
01/24/2017
These were a huge hit with my family! Made it according to the recipe with no changes - none needed!
02/24/2020
the chips got a little soggy in the middle area. We did sprinkle a little salsa covered the whole pan mixture with cheese then put in oven. Was very good will make again!
08/01/2019
Made this exactly how it told me to except I added a few of my own toppings. Strongly suggest almost burning the meat to make it crispy.
05/01/2020
Fantastic. I added chopped tomatoes and shredded lettuce to toppings. Outstanding.
07/01/2017
This was the perfect "Let's watch a movie while eating dinner" meal. It was fun and delicious. i followed the directions except I warmed up the refried beans before putting it on the chips. It was easier to distribute the beans this way.
11/08/2015
Very good. As others have suggested, I mixed the refried beans in with the ground beef mixture. I used canned sliced jalapenos on the top. Will be making this again.
02/05/2018
Made these for game day! My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed them! Put away leftovers and ended up eating the rest of them in bed! When reheating, we added extra cheese. Delicious!
01/25/2015
This recipe is super.My family loved them they are as good as any I have had at a restaurant.Thanks Melanie for sharing it we will be having them while enjoying the Super Bowl.
02/01/2015
Excellent!
07/09/2019
I was surprised today that I had not previously reviewed this . I have made it for many years. Very good. One thing I have learned through the years is that it makes a ton, and my husband and I are both small eaters. So, I used 1/2 pound ground beef (and usually still have some left over), use a taco seasoning from this site (need to watch hubby's sodium), and use black beans instead of refined (he hates refried beans). I line two small baking sheets (the size from a toaster oven) with foil and then layered as directed (I do mix the black beans with the taco meat). Then proceed as directed. Very little waste. Great nachos!
01/29/2016
The nachos were very good. I would make it again.
12/23/2016
Turned out very good, something most people can whip together easily.
06/17/2019
I used the taco seasoning recipe and used minced onions and sweet bell peppersin my meat mixture. But I followed every thing else and they were soooooo good
04/05/2020
This was the perfect snack supper although two of us ate the all of it - it was so tasty!
09/28/2021
We absolutely loved this recipe. I used Que Pasa lightly lime flavoured tortillas which added a serious flavour!! YUM
01/15/2022
Enjoyed it very much, very easy to make and adjust what you want on it to your friends and family.

01/13/2018
Super easy and super delicious!!
04/14/2019
This recipe needs to have layers and more cheese. Too many of the chips were plain. Next time I'll layer the chips with the ingredients.
01/08/2019
Great for parties and easy to make.
01/22/2018
excellent nachos! I didn't use the black olives or refried beans. used fresh jalapenos and probably double the cheese. Would be great with chicken too!
11/11/2018
My family loved it!
03/26/2016
Really good recipe. The only ingredients I used on the chips was the taco seasoned meat, cheese, and salsa. Very yummy!
08/26/2014
Super delicious! I used ground turkey and made this for family movie night. Big hit!
11/29/2019
I would make again
04/06/2017
Love this recipe! It is easy to make & always a hitter! I cook the meat & add the taco seasoning with water. Cook that through & then add the refried beans to the meat. I then follow the directions as given. AMAZING!!!
12/15/2018
Very good! Didn't broil, but cooked at 450 for 5 minutes. Of course added more cheese and salsa before cooking. Will make again.
02/06/2017
This recipe was so super quick and easy. It really was the best nacho recipe ever. I would make again. Love it!
04/16/2022
Awesome!
06/12/2021
It was excellent!!
04/14/2016
Awesome recipe!!
02/03/2020
Had it for a super bowl party. Everyone loved it! Easy to make. I also mixed the beef with the retried beans and that worked well Will make again!
03/28/2020
My kids could make it in less than a hour and loved it.
06/22/2014
Thanks Melanie - this is a delicious and easy recipe. Perfect combination!
07/15/2020
These are really good and super easy! I did crunch up the chips alittle to make it easier to serve and less messy.
11/02/2017
I like to use the 'scoop' shape tortilla chips so they hold toppings. Also, helps to mix some salsa with the beans so they're an easy consistency to spread on all the chips before putting on the other toppings. They're great however you do it, though!
05/05/2018
I made the recipe as is. I followed the recommendation to mix the beans and the seasoned beef. Thanks for the tip! Turned out great and I will make it again.
03/13/2019
I liked the nachos, but they came out very salty. I used a bag of Tostitos in this recipe. The next time I make these, I will find some low-salt tortilla chips.
06/28/2019
Great recipe i just added some cloves, cinnamon stick and chillies to give the mince more flavour
04/23/2020
Everyone looks forward to this one!
09/01/2014
My family loved this fun once in a while dinner!
09/06/2016
This was amazing!! I pretty much used everything according to the recipe. I used Tostitos restaurant cantina chips. They were a little thin. I know better for next time. This is great for football parties or so.
03/03/2022
Feb 2022 - made this as a dinner for two of us, didn't pre-bake the chips and this was perfect! I did mix in the refried beans with the beef and liked it (but hubby didn't).
05/03/2021
Everyone loved it.... !
06/28/2021
Family loved this! Great summer night meal
02/08/2021
Simple, easy to whip together and so flavorful! Used red onion instead of green onion. Will definitely make again.
01/28/2021
Super easy! Plus you can add any extra toppings you want. I added my favorite cabbage salsa to the top!
