Instructions:
Prepare the Ground Beef:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, crumbling it with a spatula, and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Mix in the BBQ sauce, ketchup, and mustard, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until well-coated. Remove from heat.
Cook the Bacon:
In a separate pan or in the oven, cook the bacon until crispy. Crumble into small pieces once cooled.
Assemble the Nachos:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a large baking sheet or in an oven-safe dish, lay out a base of tortilla chips.
Evenly spread the beef mixture over the chips, then layer on the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Top with crumbled bacon, chopped pickles, and red onion.
Bake the Nachos:
Place the nachos in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish and Serve:
After baking, garnish with shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes if desired.
Serve immediately with a side of sour cream or a drizzle of additional BBQ sauce for extra zest.
