In the big bracket of game day snacks, nothing really beats an old-school tray of nachos. The gloriously gooey cheese. The double-protein lineup of meat and beans. The cooling hits of guac and sour cream. It’s a true crowd-pleaser every time — and we’ve got a version so good you might even forget you picked Wisconsin to win March Madness.
This take riffs on the ever-viral sheet pan nacho, with our juicy Classic Roasted Chicken Sausage getting a full makeover. Give it a quick spin in the food processor (or finely chop it), cook it up with a homemade taco seasoning, then pile it onto chips with plenty of cheese, beans, and fresh toppings for an impossibly savory upgrade. Finish with sour cream, guacamole, and whatever else you love, and you’ve got a snack worthy of the Final Four.
Chef’s tip: If you don’t feel like mixing your own taco seasoning, a packet works just fine. And if you want to go all in, homemade pico de gallo only takes a few minutes — we’ve got a quick recipe for that, too.
