These Beer Nachos Supreme are everything you want from game day, backyard hangs, or midnight snack legends: crispy tortilla chips piled high with spicy meat, melty beer cheese, beans, salsa, and all your favorite toppings.

The beer cheese sauce is the MVP — rich, smooth, and made with your favorite brew to tie everything together with hoppy, malty, creamy magic.

Ingredients (Serves 6+)

For the Beer Cheese Sauce:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup beer (lager, pale ale, or amber – avoid IPAs)
• ¾ cup whole milk
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp paprika or chili powder
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
• Optional: 1 cup pepper jack or Monterey Jack for extra melt

For the Nachos:

• 1 bag tortilla chips (thick-cut holds up best)
• ½ lb ground beef, chorizo, or shredded chicken (seasoned to taste)
• 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained
• ½ cup salsa or pico de gallo
• 1 jalapeño, sliced
• ¼ cup pickled red onions
• Sour cream or crema
• Fresh cilantro or green onions
• Optional: guac, hot sauce, diced tomatoes, or shredded lettuce

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Beer Cheese

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes.
• Slowly pour in beer, whisking constantly. Add milk and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Stir in mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Add cheese in handfuls, stirring until melted and smooth.
• Keep warm.

Step 2: Cook the Meat

In a skillet, cook your meat of choice until browned. Season with taco seasoning or a mix of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Build the Nachos

On a large sheet pan, layer chips → meat → beans → spoonfuls of beer cheese → repeat as needed.

Bake at 400°F for 5–7 minutes, just to warm everything and crisp the edges.

Step 4: Load Them Up

Top with salsa, jalapeños, onions, sour cream, cilantro, and anything else your nacho-loving heart desires.

Serve immediately — preferably with a pint in hand.

Beer Pairing

• In the cheese sauce:
  • Pale ale (adds bite)
  • Amber ale (malty and smooth)
  • Lager (clean and classic)
• In your glass:
  • Same beer as the sauce
  • Crisp pilsner or wheat beer for contrast
  • Hazy IPA or saison to amplify spice and citrus

Pro Tips

• Use a baking sheet for max crunch and even layers
• Don’t overbake — melted, not soggy
• Keep extra beer cheese warm on the side for drizzling or dipping

Final Thoughts

Beer Nachos Supreme are cheesy, crunchy, meaty, and loaded — the kind of next-level snack that tastes like a bar menu greatest hit and a full meal.

They’re fast, customizable, and best served hot with beer in the sauce and on the table.

Cheers to stacked snacks, cheesy layers, and nachos that don’t hold back! 🌮🧀🍺🔥
