Guy's Fieri Trash Can Nachos Recipe

Hi, Daisies!


Guess what, tomorrow is International Nacho Day, so what better way to celebrate than with a recipe you can make right at home! I have said it before, Guy Fieri is one of my favorite chefs, so of course, I am going to post another one of his recipes (I know there will be many more to come). If you haven't tried his trash can nachos, you are missing out! I first had them when I was going to a Boston Bruins Game and went to eat at Guy Fieri's Tequila Cocina.



Now with any nachos, of course, you can substitute certain things if you don't like spicy, or add some in if you love spicy. But this recipe is his and does require a lot of ingredients. This recipe is long but is pretty simple to make, just don't get overwhelmed by this recipe's length.


Also, If you have a favorite cheese sauce, that's in a can you can always use that instead of making your own.
