The best nachos for game day, or any day you want to have an amazing snack.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Easy to prepare, easy to double for a crowd... and these pot roast nachos are easy to eat! This spicy dish is a great alternative to your typical game day fare. We love how flavorful the shredded pot roast is. We highly suggest making your own chips. They're delicious and stay crispy when the pot roast and other nacho toppings are piled on.
