EASY CHILI NACHOS



Easy Chili Nachos image

This makes a wonderful quick late-night snack, and it's a great way to use up any leftover chili I freeze some of my chili just to make this recipe --- I sprinkle finely chopped jalapeno peppers on top of second layer of cheese, but that is only optional add them on if you like heat --- all ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste. Prepare a double recipe in two separate pie plates if you are serving more than 6 people. Prep time does not include making the chili --- this is very good!

SKILLET CHILI

This makes a very thick chili. For a thinner chili, omit the tomato paste. For a chili soup, omit tomato paste and sauce and use 1 can (16 ounces) tomatoes with liquid and add 1/2 cup water and 1 beef bouillon cube.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet to ensure that the nachos are evenly cooked and that there is enough space for all of the toppings.
  • Shred your own cheese for the best flavor and texture. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can make it less melty and flavorful.
  • Don't skimp on the toppings! The more toppings you add, the more delicious your nachos will be.
  • If you like your nachos extra cheesy, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top before serving.
  • Serve your nachos immediately so that they are nice and hot and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Skillet chili nachos are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chili. So next time you are looking for a fun and easy meal, give skillet chili nachos a try. You won't be disappointed!
