We were so excited to get to visit our Ohio family this past Thanksgiving and while we were there Ali made the most AMAZING nachos I. Have. Ever. Had. Gosh y’all they’re so stinkin’ good. You’ve just got to try them.
Fresh. Delicious. Savory. Warm. Crunchy. Gooey. Flavorful. Did I mention Delicious?
Here’s the end result of our attempt at making them:
I pinned this recipe from the Pampered Chef right when we got back from Ohio and was dying to make it ASAP. As you can see sometimes ASAP isn’t very ASAP.
So here it is, give it a try. And definitely don’t skimp on the sour cream/rub mixture.
