DIY Nacho Bar // Game Night with Old El Paso

January 25, 2017

Last week I had a few friends over for a game night and instead of serving the standard chips and dip, we took our snack food up a notch with a DIY nacho bar!  Nachos are always a delicious treat, but by setting up a self-serve nacho bar, your guests are guaranteed to create something that suits their taste.

For my nacho bar, I wanted to include several fresh toppings like sweet corn and crunchy red peppers but also made sure to include some more hearty toppings like spicy ground beef that I seasoned with Old El Paso Taco Seasoning.  A few other must-have toppings would be shredded cheese to hold everything together and of course some Old El Paso Pickled Jalapeños to add a little heat.  After you have the necessities, the sky is pretty much the limit when it comes to creating your own nacho bar.  Other delicious toppings might include sliced steak, grilled chicken, refried beans or some creamy guacamole. Of course, you could always throw in some non-traditional nacho ingredients… I’m thinking bacon could be an amazing addition to a plate of nachos!

How to create your own DIY Nacho Bar!

How to create your own DIY Nacho Bar! An easy and healthy party menu idea.

Between all the award shows and of course the Super Bowl, there are so many must-see televised events coming up and of course it’s way more fun to watch with friends.  I imagine a DIY nacho bar would make the perfect menu item for a Super Bowl party or Oscars night!  Not only is a nacho bar super delicious, it’s also super easy to set up.  All you need to do is grab a handful of bowls and fill them with whatever toppings your heart desires.  If you want to keep things more cost effective as the host, you could always ask each guest to bring their own favourite nacho topping.

How to create your own DIY Nacho Bar! An easy and healthy party menu idea.

My number one tip for creating your own nacho bar is to line your guests’ plates with non-stick aluminum foil.  That way, once guests have created their own nacho platter, you can easily slide the foil (and their delicious creation!) onto a cookie sheet to bake. Once the cheese is good and meltey, the nachos are ready to serve.  The foil makes it easy to transfer the nachos once again back onto guests individual plates.
