Ingredients

Step 1

To a large pot on medium heat, add the butter and let melt.

Step 2

Once the butter is melted, add in the flour and start whisking immediately to avoid any clumps forming. Cook for 2-4 minutes so the flour cooks through.

Step 3

Add in the 4 cups of milk and start whisking to warm the flour through.

Step 4

For best results, make sure you are grating your own cheddar cheese.

Step 5

In batches, whisk in the cheddar cheese until fully melted and well combined.

Step 6

Once all of the cheese is melted, mix in the diced pickled jalapeños.

Step 7

Reduce heat to low until you're ready to serve.

Step 8

To serve your nachos, add tortilla chips to a plate, top them off with nacho cheese, the ground beef, more nacho cheese and garnish it off with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, pickled jalapeños and a big dollop of sour cream!

Step 1

Add the ground beef to a large skillet on medium high heat. Start breaking it down into smaller chunks. Let cook for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add in the diced onion, jalapeño and the taco seasoning. Mix to combine and cook for 7-10 minutes.

Step 3

Add in the diced tomatoes and cook for 5-7 more minutes. Taste the meat and add any salt/pepper if needed.
