The Ingredients You Will Need to Make the Large Family Beefy Sheet Pan Nachos
When preparing the Large Family Beefy Sheet Pan Nachos, make sure you have these important ingredients:
- Ground Beef. Use at least 2.5 pounds of seasoned ground beef for this recipe. Here are more ground beef recipes to try!
- Taco Seasoning. Purchase your favorite brand of taco seasoning to use. PS, if you like Taco’s try my Taco Tater Tot Casserole Recipe!
- Tortilla Chips. Grab thick tortilla chips that will hold well when you add your toppings to them.
- Fiesta Blend Cheese. Use any brand of fiesta blend cheese. You can also use a dairy-free alternative or leave the cheese off to make this a dairy-free dish.
- Pico de gallo. Use pico de gallo for that fresh tomato taste that goes great with the beef, chips, and cheese.
You can also add sliced black olives and pickled jalapenos on top of your tortilla chips with the other ingredients.
What to Use as a Ground Beef Alternative
If you do not have ground beef available to use, consider using ground chicken or turkey. When seasoned with taco seasoning, the ground chicken or ground turkey will taste just as good as ground beef. You might prefer a vegetarian version, use black beans (here is that recipe!) as a meat replacement. If so, season the black beans with taco seasoning before adding them on top of your tortilla chips.
Additional Toppings for Your Large Family Beefy Sheet Pan Nachos
The Large Family Beefy Sheet Pan Nachos contain cheese, pico de gallo, ground beef, and other tasty ingredients. However, there are some extra ingredients that you can add on top that will go great with the others. Freshly sliced avocados, guacamole, diced red onions, and cilantro are all great ingredients to add to your nachos. Refried beans also go great with tortilla chips, ground beef, and cheese.
How to Store Leftovers
Put any leftovers in a food storage container and place them in the fridge. When reheating leftovers, the chips may become a bit soggy. The best way to make it less soggy is to put leftovers in the oven to bake for a few minutes to allow everything to get warm. It is definitely best to eat these nachos immediately after preparing them instead of saving them for later.
