Texas Beef Nachos

Remember these carb-less nachos? They were such a big hit here. And I am all about game day grub lately. So I tried to pull it off here with just beef, but it didn’t work, as evident by the chips that give these nachos the structure it needs for finger food eating.

But if you want to keep this carb-less (a-hem, Naomi), just grab a fork and pick around.

I made this one recent afternoon for us and we downed it so fast it nearly knocked us out. Out cold. We took a nap for a few hours. Of course when we woke up, there was some slight guilt about wasting work hours. But then we just gave in and decided to make it a no-work day.

I can’t remember the last time we did that. But we’ve decided that needs to happen way more often. By that I mean the nachos, the nap, the no-work and somewhere in between we are going to fit in some margaritas next time.
