- 4 slices bacon
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Base and Chips:
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) large tortilla chips
- 0.5 small onion

- 0.33 cups (5.33 tablespoons) barbecue sauce
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)

Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F, preparing a baking sheet for the ultimate loaded nacho experience.
- Sauté ground beef with diced onions in a skillet over medium-high heat, seasoning with salt and pepper until meat browns completely.
- Drain excess fat from the beef mixture, then fold in barbecue sauce to infuse rich, tangy flavor.
- Create a drizzling bag by transferring additional barbecue sauce into a small sandwich bag, cutting a tiny corner for precise application.
- Arrange tortilla chips in a dense, single layer across the baking sheet, minimizing gaps to ensure maximum topping coverage.
- Distribute half the shredded cheddar cheese evenly, followed by a generous layer of seasoned beef and crispy bacon fragments.
- Elegantly drizzle half the prepared barbecue sauce across the first layer, ensuring balanced flavor distribution.
- Carefully construct a second chip layer atop the initial toppings for a multi-dimensional nacho structure.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese, beef, and bacon over the top layer, creating a visually appealing and flavor-packed surface.
- Cascade the remaining barbecue sauce across the nachos, guaranteeing every chip receives a delicious coating.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese melts completely and toppings are heated through.
- Garnish with fresh green onions, crisp lettuce, and diced tomatoes for a vibrant, fresh finish. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Customize meat options by substituting ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for healthier alternatives.
- Control spice levels by selecting mild or hot barbecue sauce according to personal preference.
- Reduce fat content by using turkey bacon or tempeh bacon instead of traditional pork bacon.
- Ensure crispy nachos by avoiding overly wet toppings and spreading ingredients evenly across layers to prevent soggy chips.
