Serve nachos at your family get-together or while tailgating and you will be a hero. This easy ground beef and black bean nacho recipe can be assembled right before serving (you don't want soggy tortilla chips!) or put all the ingredients into bowls and make a nacho bar. Keep the ground beef and cheese warm in a slow cooker.
Cuisine: Mexican
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
Beans & Meat
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (16 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup fire-roasted salsa or your favorite salsa
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 package taco seasoning (try this homemade taco seasoning recipe)
Cheese Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup half and half or whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Nachos
- tortilla chips
- sour cream
- guacamole
- salsa
- pico de gallo
- chopped red onions
- jalapenos
Here's how to make it:
- To make the ground beef and bean topping, cook the beef until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the black beans, salsa, water and taco seasoning. Cook until water has absorbed, about 5 minutes.
- To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a saucepot. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Pour in the half and half and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until it thickens up, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cheese until melted over low heat. Add the chili powder. Remove from heat. (If cheese sauce is too thick, add a little more milk or half and half.)
- To assemble the nachos, put tortilla chips onto a serving platter or into individual bowls. Top with the cheese sauce, ground beef and bean mixture, and then desired nacho toppings. Serving immediately.
