-

-
BEST nachos I’ve ever had, Delicious!!!
-
Was very spicy, loved it. Chips got a bit soggy though, may go with less tomato next time. Substituted black olives for green and red peppers.
-
This is a great recipe. I followed the recipe and wouldn’t change a thing! Very good! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
-
I recently made this dish and oh my goodness was it a winner with the whole family including my neighbors. I did make changes only because my family is not too fond of blue cheese so I substituted the dressing with ranch since when we eat chicken wings we eat them with ranch. These were such a hit that I made them the very next day and will be making them as an appetizer for Super Bowl. I will be making tons!!!!!! Everyone should at least try this recipe out if you love chicken wings and nachos you will definitely love this recipe!!!! Thank you for sharing this deliciousness with all of us I will definitely continue making these for the whole family and friends.
-
Bacon made it way too salty and wiped out protein flavor, would eliminate it. Instead of blue cheese drizzle at end, would do sour cream.
-
Will definitely make again. I added black beans. Bacon gave it a great flavor. I just used Hormel Bacon Pieces and toasted them a bit before putting them on. I also used some Velveeta cheese mixed in.
-
I made this recipe EXACTLY as written. I, like many others, feel it is unfair to judge a recipe based on YOUR version of it. I would give this five stars, but DH gave it a big thumbs down. And, I had heartburn (which I thought was totally worth it). I probably won’t make this recipe again, because hubby didn’t like it, but seriously, I could probably eat it a couple of times per month!
-
These are the best nachos I’ve ever eaten. I made them exactly as written and wouldn’t change a thing!
-
Everyone loved this. I mixed the chicken with a bit of FF mayo and sour cream and some crumbled blue cheese instead of using the dressing. Eliminated the bacon to save fat calories. Also, no butter and made 1/3 of it using plain corn tortillas instead of tortilla chips. Used ff and reduced fat cheese. Reduced the jalapenos, since my family doesn’t like things too spicy. Disappeared. Will make again.
-
The chips were chewy and flimsy when I would have preferred they stay crunchy, but this tastes SO good I did not mind having to eat my nachos with a fork and kept going back for more. 😉
-
We loved this recipe! We like spicy food and didn’t think this was very spicy, so next time I might choose something hotter than Frank’s or add more jalape?os. Chips weren’t soggy like I thought they’d be, but we addded the tomatoes on top after the baking.
-
These were so awesome, we did not even berate ourselves for the billion calories we consumed. Totally worth it. Better than any nachos we have eaten in restaurants.
-
My family loved it!
-
WOW, this was such a unique take on nacho’s…this coming from someone who loves everything “buffalo”! I did not use the bacon, or the blue cheese dressing, Instead I used ranch dressing with gorgonzola crumbles.
-
This was so good. As another mentioned, I substituted blue cheese with ranch and was very pleased. I added fresh jalapenos because I really wanted a fresh kick. The meat was so tasty and it was just enough kick to make your nose run without burning your mouth. I would definitely make this again. It was a real hit at the super bowl party!
-
This was amazing!!!!
-
I’m not big on blue cheese so I used ranch instead but it was amazing!! Will definitely make again. Next time I’m going to do bald ranch & half blue cheese for my husband, & put blue cheese crumbles on his half!
-
Wow next level nachos
-
Best nachos EVER!!! Did not use jalape?os, because we can’t handle the heat, and didn’t think it needed the butter, but otherwise the same. Can’t recommend too highly!
-
This was excellent! I mostly stick to the recipe but I did substitute ranch for the blue cheese since I am not a blue cheese fan. I did not use the bacon or olives. If only I would have used some low sodium tortilla chips I would?ve eaten all of this up!
-
This was a wonderful recipe! I just added some lettuce after heating it up; then added the say
-
Loved it
-
This is absolutely the best! I love it because I can customize a section to fit each person’s taste. Now I can finally have all the yummy stuff I usually have to leave out because of the picky kids! Win/win! I add blue cheese to homemade ranch dressing and leave off the cilantro. This can be customized so many ways to suit anyone’s taste. One of our favorite recipes.
-
Amazing!!
-
Loved it. Made for the first time today. I added sweet corn and left out the jalape?os, we Brits are wimps with anything too hot haha
