Easy and Delicious Baked Beans and Beef Nachos Recipe

Looking for the ultimate Nachos recipe? This Easy and Delicious Baked Beans and Beef Nachos Recipe is a winner!

Nachos make the tastiest snack, appetizer, or even dinner meal, and they are so easy to make. Top the tortilla chips with your favourite toppings and bake! They are our kids’ favourite as well.

I am using the Sweet and Tangy Bush’s® Baked Beans for this recipe, and I love how they go so well with the beef.  These tender navy beans are slow-cooked, with fine brown sugar and the family signature blend of spices. A delicious staple we always have on hand in our pantry!

You can also try their Original Baked Beans with bacon for an extra kick, or you can even adapt this recipe and keep it vegetarian without using beef if you want. So many possibilities.

PRO TIP: Avoid using pre-shredded cheese if you want the best cheese stringy-gooey melty cheese. Grate it yourself if you can! The pre-shredded cheese comes with a coating of a powder that prevents it from melting and freshly grated cheese!

This super easy and delicious recipe is below.
