How to Make Bundt Pan Nachos

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 8 ounces block of Colby jack cheese, shredded
• 12 ounces bag of tortilla chips (Tostitos brand)
• Optional Garnish: Sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Spray a Bundt pan (12-cup capacity) with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, diced onion, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and no pink remains, about 6-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3. Stir in the water and taco seasoning. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until most of the liquid evaporates, then remove from heat.
4. Layer half of the shredded cheese in the bottom of the Bundt pan.
5. Add half of the beef mixture and 1/3 of the tortilla chips.
6. Repeat the layers with the remaining cheese, beef, and tortilla chips (be careful not to overfill).
7. Bake for 10 minutes.
8. Invert the pan onto a plate and carefully remove the Bundt pan.
9. Serve as-is or top with optional garnishes like sour cream, diced tomatoes, or chopped cilantro.

How to Serve Bundt Pan Nachos

How to Store Bundt Pan Nachos

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through, or in the microwave for a quicker option.
