Pork Rind Nachos
Ingredients
- 4 oz about 113g pork rinds
- 1 cup about 112g shredded cheddar cheese (or any preferred hard cheese)
- 1/2 lb about 225g cooked ground beef (seasoned with salt, if desired)
- 2 oz about 56g cream cheese (for a creamy texture, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a pan, cook the ground beef until browned. Season with a pinch of salt to taste. Optionally, mix the cooked beef with cream cheese for added creaminess.
- Sprinkle the cooked ground beef evenly over the pork rinds.
- Top with shredded cheese, ensuring an even distribution over the beef and pork rinds.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
