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.

how to make Bundt Pan Nachos

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.

Turn the pan onto a large plate so the nachos keep their shape. Let people pull chips from the ring and add sour cream, guacamole, and tomatoes. For a brunch or large spread, pair with simple sides like a buttermilk pancake recipe.

how to store Bundt Pan 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.
• Add salsa or beans between layers for more flavor.
• Let the pan rest a few minutes so the nachos keep their shape when you remove them.

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