Tips for Making Beef Nachos

• Layer the chips so every one is covered.
• Cook the beef until dry to avoid soggy chips.
• Add cold toppings after baking.

Changing the Recipe

• An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the stand-in usually given when you are out of fresh garlic; it will not brown the same way, and it burns easily, so add it with the liquid.
