Instructions:
Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in BBQ sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is coated in sauce. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Bacon: Cook the bacon in a separate skillet or in the oven until crispy. Once cooked, crumble it into small pieces.
Assemble the Nachos: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a large baking sheet or oven-safe dish, spread a layer of tortilla chips. Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef mixture over the chips. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the top. Add the crumbled bacon, diced pickles, and red onion on top of the cheese.
Bake the Nachos: Bake the nachos in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Top and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the nachos with shredded lettuce and diced tomato (if using). Serve with sour cream on the side or drizzle more BBQ sauce on top if you like extra flavor.
