Easy Crockpot Nachos
Serious. Deliciousness. Mexican Night. This recipe was out of the park good with my husband, and for sure scored some points in my book because I practically did nothing…and it was awesome.
What is easier than throwing some ingredients (that only require using a can opener) into a pot, and leaving for work? Fix-it and forget-it. My kind of weeknight meal. I’m always looking for ways to cut corners during our work weeks. Whew.
PS. I didn’t use all the chicken on our nachos, there was a lot of leftovers, so I made up a pot of brown rice, and took it for work the next day. You could for sure get away with making another batch of nachos, especially if your serving for a big crowd! Also, one bag of chips may not fit on the pan.. we used a half bag.

Thanks so much for the recipe!! I couldn’t find jalapeno cheddar so I used jalapeno queso (similar but white and chalkier) and even tried it once with beef instead of chicken..both times they were amazing!!
OMG! Just made these and they are SOOOOOOO good.
yay!! it’s an oldie but a goodie, and makes weeknight dinners a piece of cake.
Oh man these look good. I seriously need some nachos in my life!
Thanks Matt!! Homemade nachos are the best.. why do we forget about ’em?
