I don’t go out to eat often but when I do I usually order nachos. I know I could easily make my own at home – like these Grilled Picnic Nachos – but I always crave them at restaurants too. Every restaurant makes them in a different way but my favorites are always loaded with toppings including lots of cheese. Did you know you can make nachos on the grill for an easy BBQ party appetizer? This is such an easy recipe and perfect for camping! The snow is forecasted to fall this week here but I’m going to ignore that and still talk about summer BBQ parties. I won’t be ready for snow until a week before Christmas. {wink}
