This is everything you love about nachos, made hearty enough for dinner. We discovered that standing the chips upright in the egg mixture gets them crispy on top and adds body to the bake below. This is ridiculously delicious, and difficult to stop eating.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound fresh chorizo sausage, casings removed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
8 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup sour cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups tortilla chips (about 30)
2 cups shredded Cheddar (about 8 ounces)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
Jarred salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • SET UP: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • BROWN THE CHORIZO AND ONION: Cook the chorizo until browned in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish, leaving the fat in the skillet. Saute the onion in the pan drippings until golden, about 6 minutes. Stir in the beans, then transfer to the baking dish.
  • ASSEMBLE AND BAKE: Beat the eggs, heavy cream, and sour cream with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of pepper. Gently pour the eggs over the meat and beans. Press the chips into the mixture so they stand up. Sprinkle with the Cheddar and bake until the eggs are just set, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve with salsa.

Tips:

  • To make the nacho bake ahead of time, assemble it completely and bake it for 20 minutes. Let it cool completely, then cover it and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in a preheated 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.
  • For a vegetarian nacho bake, omit the ground beef and add an extra can of black beans or corn. You could also add some roasted vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
  • If you like your nacho bake spicy, add a diced jalapeño pepper or a teaspoon of chili powder to the ground beef mixture.
  • Serve the nacho bake with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, diced tomatoes, or sliced jalapeños.
  • Nacho bake is a great party food. You can make a large batch and serve it in a slow cooker or chafing dish.

Conclusion:

Nacho bake is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a casual get-together or a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover ground beef or chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a hearty and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give nacho bake a try!
