This post was created in partnership with Kraft. Recipe and opinions are mine.
This month has so many sporting events to watch that it only seemed natural to come up with a snack to share with family and friends while enjoying all the fun. The perfect game day snack is nachos, of course, but I’m tired of making them the same old way, so I made a heartier, more satisfying version of nachos — Big Game Nachos….grrrrrrrr.
My recipe starts with a layer of nacho goodness, then another, then another and then one more! Four layers of snack happiness for you, and plenty more to share.
Oh, this is good. nom nom nom
