Loaded Campfire Nachos Recipe
This recipe makes vegetarian campfire nachos unless you add the optional meat. It’s a great way to use leftover steak, chicken, ground beef, or turkey meat from your simple burgers, healthy turkey burgers, or taco soup.
For best results, cook over a LOW campfire or hot coals. Otherwise, you may burn the chips. It should only take about 10-15 minutes, depending on how hot your fire is. Just make sure your pan is covered so the cheese will melt all the way through!
You can make these nachos in a Dutch oven, cast iron skillet, or disposable foil pan.
