First, season the ground beef with salt and pepper.

Next, heat a skillet with a little oil and cook the ground beef. (You can also add diced bacon if you like.)

Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess oil and spread the meat in a serving dish to make the base for your nachos.

From this point, there’s no more cooking—just add the toppings. Start by adding the tortilla chips.

Next, pour on the cheese sauce.

Then drizzle with barbecue sauce.

Chop the pickled jalapeños and add them on top.

Finally, sprinkle with fried onions or raw onion diced into small pieces, and you’re done!
