Well, folks, the Big Game is this weekend! And for a lot of people, that news brings two different responses. The first one is “Yeah, can’t wait!” And the second, just a moment later, is “OMG, what am I going to feed everyone?” For everyone who’s still trying to get the game-day menu sorted out, I have a great idea: nachos.

Nachos are the ultimate football fare. They’re hot and zesty, so they warm you up in the cold weather. But unlike, say, ribs, they’re also easy to eat with one hand (while pumping your fist in the air with the other one).

But there’s also no need to limit yourself to the basics. For folks who like to experiment, there are tons of different ways to make nachos.

You can cook your nachos on the stove, in the oven, in the Crockpot, or even over a campfire.

With so much to choose from, there’s a nacho for every guy and gal out there. And they even have their own theme song! Ready, everyone? NACHO, nacho man….
