Brew House Nachos!

Let me start off by saying – these are NOT diet friendly! But if you are looking for a decadent and delicious cheater meal – these Brew House Nachos are for you. When you think of nachos at a brewery – you think of a mountain of deliciousness – and that’s what this is!

Brew House Nachos

There are a number of elements about these nachos that make them different than your typical nachos. It’s what I call a “four burner meal” – which means you will likley have all four burners of the stove going at once. For starters, they use fresh made potato chips instead of tortilla chips. And instead of a gooey orange cheese topping – you get fresh made Bleu Cheese Beer sauce. Then there is the BACON! Are you drooling yet? Because I know I am writing this recipe for these Brew House Nachos

You could of course make these a little simpler – buy using store bought potato chips and precooked bacon bits. But the potato chips you make in this recipe are a combination of crispy true chips and potatoes rounds that are a little softer.

Brew House Nachos

These were inspired by a trip to an amazing Brewery in Bend, OR that we have visited a number of times over the years. They have an ever changing menu but it is always – I MEAN ALWAYS – absolutely delicious.

  • Combine brown sugar, garlic, salt, paprika and parsley. Begin frying potato rounds in batches, cooking until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove them to a paper towel covered sheet pan. Then put them in a large bowl and toss with brown sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and garlic powder. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Still whisking, pour in lager and continue to stir for 2 more minutes. Whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream and cook another 3 minutes then add cheeses by the handful, stirring to incorporate each time. Reduce to low heat until ready to plate
  • Now build the nachos: On a large plate, start with a layer of potatoes. Sprinkle with steak, then ladle on bleu cheese sauce, then bacon then shredded cheese and last jalapenos and scallions. You can make this family style on a large platter or individually on regular dinner plates.

I really love to recreate different meals that I have when dining out – giving them tweaks and changes to make them my own. And that’s where a lot of the recipes in my cookbook Homemade on a weeknight came from. If you want to try more recipes from other cultures – you can get your own copy in Paperback or eBook(Kindle) versions.
