Ingredients
Beef Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 Tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup salsa
Nacho Cheese Ingredients:
- 32 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 1 can ROTEL (10 ounces)
Guacamole Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados you will want them to be soft to the touch
- 1/2 lime (juiced)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 cup salsa
Other Nacho Bar Ingredients:
- 2 large bag of tortilla chips
- 1 can of black beans rinsed and drained
- 2 roma tomatoes diced
- 2 bunches of green onions sliced
- 2 small cans of black olives drained
- 1 Jar of Jalapeños 16 oz drained
Instructions
For the Beef:
- Place the ground meat (raw) in a 5-6 quart crock pot.
- Pour the salsa on top and sprinkle with the taco seasoning mix. (We use homemade taco seasoning.)
- Cover and cook on high for 3 -4 hours until no longer pink. Use a spoon to break up the taco meat and serve.
Cup of Yum
Cheese Instructions:
- Cube the Velveeeta cheese and place in a 3-5 quart crock pot.
- Pour rotel on top.
- Place the lid on top and cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour until cheese is melted (stirring occasionally).
Guacamole Instructions:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit.
- Place avocados in a mixing bowl. With a fork or potato masher begin to gently mash them up.
- Add the salsa by the heaping spoonfuls. Stir and slowly add more to your liking. I would say you need about a 1/4 cup.
- Once it is to the consistency you like, squeeze the lime all over the avocados (this helps prevent them from browning so quickly).
- Sprinkle in garlic salt.
- Taste it and then add more garlic salt as needed. The salt makes a BIG difference in good guacamole. If it is tasting bland then you need more garlic salt.
Other Instructions:
- Place all the other ingredients in individual bowls.
- Then place the crock pots, guacamole and ingredients on a serving table so everyone can make their own nachos!
