The sheet pan nacho is literally the only nacho recipe you need

Oh, nachos. So cheesy, gooey and crispy all at once, you're truly the perfect food. 

But getting that perfect texture is hardly attainable in the microwave, and standing over the stove to slowly melt a cheese sauce to then drizzle over a pristinely plated stacks of tortilla chips and jalapeños rings isn't always the best option for the time-pressed. 

Enter: the sheet pan nacho. Spread all your glorious nacho ingredients on a sheet pan, bake, and presto — amazing nachos! And yes, you can eat them straight off the pan. You'll never make nachos any other way again.
