Ingredients
  

For the Nachos
  • 1 lb ground beef or venison
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 2 15 oz cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese freshly grated
Toppings
  • 1/2 cup black olives sliced
  • 3-4 Roma Tomatoes diced
  • Jalapeño - sliced thin optional
  • sour cream
  • diced avocado or guacamole
  • fresh cilantro chopped
  • tortilla chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess grease (optional), then stir in the taco seasoning and minced garlic. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  2. Spread 1/2 of the tortilla chips in a single, slightly overlapping layer on a large rimmed parchment lined baking sheet.
    Spread 1/2 of the seasoned beef and black beans over the chips, then generously cover with both cheeses. Repeat with another layer of chips, beef, beans and cheese.
  3. Bake for 7-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on the chips so the edges don't burn.
  4. Sprinkle with diced tomatoes, black olives, and cilantro. Add dollops of sour cream, salsa, and avocado just before serving.

Notes

  • If you buy fresh ground beef or process your own venison, cook the meat in bulk. Once cooled, portion them into 1 Ib packages and freeze them. When you have those crazy days, the hardest part is already done when making these sheet pan beef nachos. Just pull the bag of cooked meat out of the freezer in the morning and while the nachos are in the oven, you can prepare the toppings. You can probably have supper on the table in 20-25 minutes.
  • If you think you'll have leftovers, don't put the toppings on the tray once it comes out of the oven. Things like the tomatoes might be a little soggy and guacamole will be brown at that point. Just top each individual bowl.
