My mother-in-law created this Nacho Casserole recipe and we just love it. She called it Mexican Goulosh but we call it nachos. It reminds me of when you order a large order of nachos at any Mexican restaurant.
She had 7 kids so she got creative and tried not to waste.
The bottom of every tortilla chip bag just sits or gets thrown away. It’s such a waste. Not anymore though. We kind of save them up now so we can make this Nacho Casserole recipe.
Watch the video to see how we use them.
If you don’t have enough crumbs, you can always use a fresh bag of chips for these nachos.
