Bundt Pan Nachos are a fun and easy twist on the classic party appetizer, featuring layers of seasoned ground beef, melted Colby jack cheese, and crunchy tortilla chips all stacked in a bundt pan for a visually impressive and shareable dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat Mixture

  • ½ pound lean ground beef
  • ½ cup diced yellow onion
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Cheese

  • 8 ounces Colby jack cheese, shredded

Chips

  • 12 ounces bag of tortilla chips (Tostitos brand – use about ⅔ of the bag)

Optional Garnishes

  • Sour cream
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Spray a 12-cup capacity bundt pan thoroughly with cooking spray and set it aside to prepare for layering.
  2. Cook Ground Beef and Onions: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, diced yellow onion, salt, and black pepper for 6 to 7 minutes until the beef is fully browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Add Seasoning and Water: Return the skillet to medium heat and stir in the water and taco seasoning. Cook the mixture for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing most of the liquid to evaporate. Remove the skillet from heat.
  4. Layer First Half: Into the prepared bundt pan, layer half of the shredded Colby jack cheese first, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Then add half of the cooked beef mixture, and top with one-third of the tortilla chips. Be careful not to pack the chips down to maintain crispness.
  5. Layer Second Half: Add the remaining shredded cheese evenly on top of the first layers, followed by the rest of the ground beef mixture and another one-third of the tortilla chips. Avoid overfilling; just create an even layer to ensure proper cooking.
  6. Bake: Place the bundt pan into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt thoroughly and the layers to warm evenly.
  7. Invert and Transfer: Remove the bundt pan from the oven. Place a large, heatproof plate directly on top of the bundt pan, then carefully invert the pan so the nachos slide onto the plate. Lift the bundt pan away gently. If any cheese remains stuck to the pan, replace it onto the nachos.
  8. Add Garnishes and Serve: Top the nachos with optional garnishes such as sour cream, diced tomatoes, and chopped fresh cilantro. Serve the Bundt Pan Nachos warm for a delicious, shareable party appetizer.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick bundt pan or ensure thorough greasing with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Do not overpack the tortilla chips to keep them crisp and avoid sogginess.
  • Customize toppings with jalapeños, black olives, or guacamole for added flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
