Cheesy Nacho Chilli Bake - One - Pot Dinner

Fancying something a bit different tonight? Well this Cheesy Nacho Chilli Bake is sure to satisfy any Tex-Mex cravings you and the family may be having. It tastes amazing and looks just as good and better yet, it's a one pot meal, meaning no clutter and less dishes to be washed.

Now I'm not going to lie, this is one of the best chilli recipes I've ever tried! It's got a little kick but isn't too spicy and the flavours are just so hard to beat. All this and then a generous layering of cheesy nachos baked on top. Anyway, without further ado, let's get on with the recipe!

Happy Cooking!
