Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough or pizza dough

• Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

For the Creamy Base:

• ¾ cup sour cream

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ¼ tsp salt

For the Beef Layer:

• 1 lb ground beef

• 2 tbsp taco seasoning

• ¼ cup water

Toppings:

• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce

• 1 large tomato, diced

• Optional: sliced black olives, pickled jalapeños, guacamole, salsa

Preparation Stages

Stage 1: Prepare the Crust (10 minutes)

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Lightly grease a large rectangular baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.

3. Roll out the crescent roll dough (or pizza dough) directly onto the sheet. Press the seams together to form one even layer.

4. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until lightly golden and slightly puffed. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.

Stage 2: Cook the Beef (10 minutes)

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 6–7 minutes.

2. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.

3. Set the seasoned beef aside.

Stage 3: Make the Creamy Spread (5 minutes)

1. In a mixing bowl, blend together the sour cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, and salt until smooth and creamy.

2. Spread the mixture evenly over the slightly cooled crust.

Stage 4: Assemble the Nachos (5 minutes)

1. Evenly distribute the seasoned beef over the creamy layer.

2. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.

3. Return the pan to the oven for another 5–7 minutes or just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Stage 5: Add Fresh Toppings (5 minutes)

1. Remove the nachos from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes.

2. Top with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.

3. Add any optional toppings such as black olives, jalapeños, or a side of guacamole and salsa.

Serving Suggestions

Cut the nachos into squares or slices and serve warm. This dish is best eaten immediately for maximum crispiness and flavor, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven for a quick snack.

Whether you’re hosting friends, feeding hungry kids, or simply craving something fun and satisfying, these Epic Beef Nachos Supreme hit every note. The crisp crust stands up to the creamy, meaty, cheesy layers, and the fresh toppings add the perfect contrast. It’s a dish that brings people together and disappears fast—so be sure to make enough to go around. And don’t forget to serve it with your favorite dips on the side!
