Ingredients
Nachos
- 7 cups of Kettle cooked potato chips One 8.5 oz. bag of original or sea salt, do not use a flavored variety
- 1 ½ cups of shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup of sauerkraut
- 1 ½ cups of corned beef chopped
- ½ cup Thousand Island dressing
- ¼ cup of green onion sliced
Beer Cheese Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 Tablespoon All Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup Guinness beer
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- To make these corned beef nachos, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius).
- Evenly spread out the potato chips on a large, rimmed baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the potato chips.
- Layer the sauerkraut on top of the Swiss cheese.
- Assemble the ingredients for the Guinness beer cheese sauce that is used in this recipe for Irish Nachos.
- Start making the beer cheese sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour continuously for about 1 minute.
- Slowly add in the milk while whisking constantly.
- Whisk in the Guinness beer, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt. Keep whisking until it comes to a slow boil and then continue whisking until thickened.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the grated cheddar cheese 1/2 cup at a time, whisking after each addition.
- Top the sauerkraut with the beer cheese sauce, and add the chopped corned beef on top of the nachos.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes until the Swiss cheese is melted. Do not overbake where the chips start turning brown.
- Drizzle a thin line of Thousand Island dressing back and forth over the nachos. You can use a zip top bag with a small hole cut out of the corner to do this.
- Sprinkle the green onion slices over the top. Make sure to serve it while it's still warm.
