SO easy to make and addictive!!! My friends loved these nachos and I’ll be making them again!
Where did you get chocolates that say “Book Club”? I would love to get those for my book club!
Mouthwatering, got to get a napkin to catch the drools, because this dish looks just that amazing/yummy
I like them. You can get just the fries with a little cup of hot cheese sauce, or the Supreme/Bell Grande, which is a tray of fries topped with ground beef, cheese sauce, sour cream and tomatoes. So basically their regular nachos, but with fries instead of tortilla chips.
Those nachos are amazing!! We love nachos!
Need to try these nachos pronto!
