Leftover Chili Nachos

Delicious (assuming you managed to cook the stew meat until tender). Didn't do a salad, just put the toppings on after baking. We ate this two nights in a row!
0 HelpfulSo tasty. I went super lazy and used spicy pico from the store. Next time I would shred the beef.
0 HelpfulVery tasty. We ended up just eating the Chili in a bowl and scooping it up with nachos. So good.
