I am also a Canbassador again this year for Cans Get You Cooking. So I will be sharing 8 recipes this year that will focus specifically on using canned items from your Cantry.

Today, I am sharing with you a chili cheese nachos recipe.

I served them up as part of a nacho bar that I did for the Super Bowl at my home. A nacho bar is great for entertaining. I like to have 2 meats to choose from, nachos cheese sauce, and toppings. Nachos are also a hit anytime as a meal for my family too.  I loved the idea of doing a twist on nachos with a combination of chili and cheese.

It is a great way to utilize canned items too. You can get canned nacho cheese sauce. I buy a big 106 oz can from Sam’s Club, but you can buy small cans at the regular grocery store in the Mexican section. You can also use canned olives, beans, green chilies, corn and tomatoes.

I thought these nachos would be great to serve up for March Maddness!
