Let’s be completely honest, what we really need is wider and shorter trays of nachos. No more tall towers of chips and toppings. Spread those toppings across a layer of chips and cover all those chips, not just the top layer. Who’s with me? It goes without saying we love steak recipes. Everything from pan seared steak to air fried steak makes it to the top of our favorite beef recipes list! These amazing beef nachos make a perfect treat for game day or movie night, especially for a summer sleepover.
