Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup white onion chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Nachos
  • 2 bags tortilla chips
  • 1 cup canned refried beans
  • 3/4 cup tomatoes diced
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup green onions thinly sliced
For the Nacho Cheese Sauce
  • 3 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 12 ounces evaporated milk one can
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Saucepan
  • Baking sheets
  • Microwave

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onion until the beef is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Drain off excess oil. Stir in the salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Add 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 5 minutes or until water has evaporated.
  3. While the beef is cooking, heat the refried beans in the microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. Line two baking sheets with foil. Spread the tortilla chips out on the foil. Top with the beans, beef, and queso. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Garnish with tomatoes, green onions, and sour cream.
  6. For the cheese sauce: Heat evaporated milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it simmers. While the milk is warming, combine cheese and cornstarch. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese 1 cup at a time until all the cheese is incorporated and melted into the sauce. Stir in the hot sauce, chili powder, and salt.
