Alehouse Smokin Beef Nachos
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp Lawery's season salt
- 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp Ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 bag corn chips
- 1 cup easy nacho cheese sauce, recipe attached below (or store bought)
- Mix ground beef and spices and place in a large shallow baking pan.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 24 hours.
- Set up your grill for Indirect Heat with a drip pan in the middle.
- Place the pan of hamburger mixture on the grill directly over the drip pan.
- Add a couple of handfuls of hickory wood chips directly to the hot coals and smoke at 350F for "about" 15 to 20 minutes (until the hamburger mix is fully cooked).
- When the hamburger is fully cooked remove from the grill and let cool then drain excess fat.
- Easy nacho cheese sauce.
- In a heavy saucepan bring the canned soup and the milk to a "gentle simmer".
- Add in some of the shredded cheese and stir until melted.
- Keep adding the cheese in a little at a time and continue to stir.
- When all the cheese is melted move the pan to "very low heat" and keep warm until serving time.
- Don't forget to add a pinch or 2 of salt and pepper
- To assemble the nachos lay out the corn chips on a large baking tray or large serving platter.
- Break up the hamburger mix to a fine crumble and distributed over the corn chips.
- Pour on the warm nacho cheese sauce and top with any extra toppings you like and serve right away (and stand back, lol).
- (the smoked hamburger mix can be made days in advance.
- Just break into a fine crumble before refrigerating or freezing.
- You can reheat the hamburger mix in a microwave with about a tsp of water.
- Be careful not to overdo it).
