Fabulous Supper Nachos
Fabulous Supper Nachos
My mom found this recipe in a magazine probably thirty years ago. This recipe is AMAZING. I don’ t know exactly what sets it apart from other hot nachos recipes, but something does. You won’t find a better dish to take to a party – this is probably the dish for which I’m most often asked for the recipe. They’re called “Supper Nachos” because they are a meal. They’re a family favorite.

In the bottom of your baking pan (the day I took these pictures, I made 2 pans because I took one to a church function – this would normally be in one pan instead of two) spread the beans mixture.
Top with the meat.
Top with the diced green chiles.
Top with the cheddar cheese.
Top with the salsa.
Bake in 400° degrees F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly.

Serve with tortilla chips. I like to top mine with sour cream, black olives, scallions, diced tomatoes.

I Love nachos. This sounds wonderful.
You’ve done it! You’ve inspired my supper tonight. I was wondering what to do with the leftover taco meat… Thanks!
This looks yummy! My family loves mexican food so I am going to have to make this soon!
We make this! My mom must have read the same magazine your mom did. Haha.
I will say that in my experience, it is better to bake it without the cheese on top if you are taking it to a party and it isn’t going to be eaten immediately. The cheese can get a little tough to dip a chip into.
I love that you make this, too! Isn’t it awesome?
