introduction

This nacho idea uses a bundt pan to pile chips, meat, and cheese in layers. It is easy to change for what you like. For a simple sweet side at a brunch, try a recipe like banana whole wheat pancakes as a separate dish.

Make the layers in order. Brown meat and season it well. Use a bundt pan to hold the stack so the nachos heat evenly. If you want a different cooked meat, try a roasted chicken recipe like cilantro lime roasted chicken and shred it for the nachos.

Cool any leftovers to room temperature. Put the nachos in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to melt the cheese again. Do not freeze, or the chips will get soggy.

tips to make Bundt Pan Nachos

  • Use sturdy chips so they hold the layers.
  • Cut cheese thin or shred it for even melting.

  • Breakfast: add scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage for a brunch version.
