Ingredients easy and awesome nachos

2 lb ground beef
1 packages tortilla chips
2 jars Ragu double cheddar pasta sauce

how to make easy and awesome nachos

Brown ground beef, adding salt and pepper to taste. Drain fat.

Add taco seasonings as per package directions.

While seasoned beef is simmering, pour jars of cheese sauce into saucepan. (I usually swirl a bit of milk in jars to get remainder of sauce out.)

Add rotel to cheese sauce. Draining rotel will leave sauce thicker, not draining will make sauce a bit thinner, but spicier.

Stir sauce and heat over low /medium heat, stirring occasionally so sauce doesn't stick or scorch, until heated through.

Once both beef and cheese are done, it's time to build individual plates.

Place a layer of chips on a plate, add seasoned beef sprinkled evenly over chips.

Ladle cheese sauce over all, as much or as little as each person cares for.

Add optional toppings as desired.

Enjoy!

This recipe is simple yet versatile. I have also used chicken, shrimp, imitation crab, even shredded pork. The only limit to the ingredients are your imagination.
