Ingredients You Need

• 2 large bags (about 22 ounces total) of your favorite tortilla chips: I like the restaurant-style thick ones for maximum sturdiness. The secret to epic Bundt Pan Nachos is using the right chip!
• 2 pounds ground beef: Browned and drained of any excess grease. You can also use shredded chicken, pulled pork, or even black beans for a vegetarian version.
• 1 packet (about 1.25 ounces) taco seasoning: For that classic nacho flavor.
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans: Rinsed and drained.
• 1 (15 ounce) can corn: Drained.
• 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (like Rotel): Undrained. This adds a nice kick!
• 8 ounces cream cheese: Softened.
• 1 cup sour cream: For a creamy, tangy layer.
• 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese: Or a blend of your favorite cheeses! Splurge on this one Bundt Pan Nachos ingredient – trust me, the quality of the cheese makes a huge difference.
• Toppings of your choice: Such as: diced tomatoes, green onions, black olives, jalapeños, guacamole, salsa, and more sour cream.

This Bundt Pan Nachos ingredient list is SHORT but mighty! You can find the best ingredients for this easy weeknight Bundt Pan Nachos at your local Mexican grocery store – they usually have amazing deals on cheese and produce.

Here’s the Bundt Pan Nachos game-changer that will blow your mind: pre-shredded cheese often has cellulose added to prevent clumping, which can hinder melting. Shred your own cheese for a smoother, meltier nacho experience!

I’ve been known to add a bit of smoked paprika to the ground beef mixture for an extra layer of smoky depth. This Bundt Pan Nachos is all about customization!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 12-cup Bundt pan generously with cooking spray. Don’t skip this step! We want those Bundt Pan Nachos to slide out easily.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes and green chilies. Mix well. This is the flavor foundation of our Bundt Pan Nachos masterpiece.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the sour cream until smooth and creamy. This will be our luscious, tangy layer. Don’t stress – your Bundt Pan Nachos is going to be incredible.
4. Now comes the fun part: layering! Start by placing a single layer of tortilla chips in the bottom of the Bundt pan, making sure to cover the entire surface. The key to perfect Bundt Pan Nachos is even layering!
5. Spoon about half of the ground beef mixture over the chips, spreading it evenly.
6. Dollop about half of the cream cheese mixture over the ground beef, spreading it as best you can. It doesn’t have to be perfect!
7. Sprinkle about half of the shredded cheese over the cream cheese mixture.
8. Repeat layers: chips, remaining ground beef mixture, remaining cream cheese mixture, and remaining shredded cheese. Pro tip for Bundt Pan Nachos perfection: press down gently on each layer to help it compact.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the entire Bundt Pan Nachos is heated through. In my kitchen, this Bundt Pan Nachos takes exactly 22 minutes to reach golden, cheesy perfection.
10. Let the Bundt Pan Nachos cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes before inverting it onto a large serving platter. This is where your Bundt Pan Nachos transforms into pure magic.
11. Now for the final flourish! Top your glorious Bundt Pan Nachos with all your favorite toppings: diced tomatoes, green onions, black olives, jalapeños, guacamole, salsa, and more sour cream!

Tips for Nacho Perfection

Here’s where most people mess up their Bundt Pan Nachos – but not you! Make sure your ground beef mixture isn’t too wet, or your chips will get soggy. If it seems too watery, drain off any excess liquid before layering.

While your layered Bundt Pan Nachos recipe is working its magic, grab your camera – this is Instagram gold! Seriously, this thing is a showstopper. For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of chili powder to each layer of chips.

Your Bundt Pan Nachos should look golden brown and bubbly, smell incredibly cheesy and savory, and feel firm to the touch. If the cheese isn’t fully melted, pop it back in the oven for a few more minutes.

I love to arrange the toppings artfully around the base of the Bundt Pan Nachos, creating a vibrant and colorful presentation. Think of it as a nacho volcano, erupting with flavor!

People absolutely lose their minds when I serve this Bundt Pan Nachos at parties. It’s always the first thing to disappear! For a truly epic experience, pair this delectable Bundt Pan Nachos with my Caramel Apple Sangria Recipe. Trust me, the sweet and spicy combination is out of this world.

This Bundt Pan Nachos is perfect for: game day, birthday parties, Cinco de Mayo, potlucks, or any occasion that calls for a celebration!

For a festive touch, add a few sprigs of cilantro or parsley to the top of the Bundt Pan Nachos. Leftovers (if there are any!) can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

For a seasonal twist, try adding pumpkin puree to the cream cheese mixture in the fall, or using different colored tortilla chips for a festive holiday Bundt Pan Nachos.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I make this Bundt Pan Nachos ahead of time?
  You can assemble the Bundt Pan Nachos a few hours ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator, but I recommend baking it just before serving for the best results.
• What kind of cheese is best for Bundt Pan Nachos?
  Cheddar is a classic choice, but you can use any cheese that melts well, such as Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or a Mexican blend. I’ve even used pepper jack for an extra spicy Bundt Pan Nachos.

• Can I add a layer of guacamole?
  Definitely! I recommend adding the guacamole after the Bundt Pan Nachos has been baked, as it can brown and become bitter if baked.
