My husband loves my chili con carne so I am cooking it several times a month. Trust me, no matter how much i am cooking, no matter how big the pot - it always gets emptied. It's also the one-pot I nearly always cook when family or friends are coming over. That basically is the reason why I wanted to "pimp" my chili a little, because eating chili con carne two days in a row might make my husband happy, but not myself. So I simply took a bag of nachos, mixed it with my chili con carne and added alot of grated cheese. The outcome? Just wow.
So you can see in the pictures above and below (and also in the video) that Chili Cheese Nachos are extremely easy to make. If you really don't give a damn about calories I suggest throwing in as much cheese as you can and you will most likely receive what I normally call: foodporn!
Maybe you even have some left-over chili con carne from yesterday? That would be the perfect moment to try something new. I am pretty sure you wont regret it :-)
As for Dips I really think that a Salsa Dip or Cheese Dip would mix exceedingly well.
