Notes

Feel free to customize your nachos with additional toppings like corn, green onions, or hot sauce.
For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based meat alternatives.
You can prepare the beef mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to assemble and bake.
