This Game Day Nacho recipe is the most requested appetizer in my home during football season. Game Day Nachos are easy-to-make that will sure to be a family favorite. This traditional nacho dish is also perfect for a Super Bowl Party or any other get together with friends. When making this nacho recipe, ingredients can easily be varied to your family’s taste. Nachos can also make a great family meal; adjust the quantity to the number of people that you are feeding. Of course there is always the collision with everyone trying to get the best melded chips onto their plate. Spreading the cheese evenly and in layers will help to assure that there is no naked chip in the bunch.
