Playoff Munchies: Extreme Nachos

I am done mourning the elimination of my beloved HAB's from the Stanley Cup playoffs, and am now cheering on the second best team in the NHL, the Washington Capitals.  Tonight's a big night for my boys, if they lose tonight's game they are just about done...but I have faith that Ovechkin will bring this team back on top. In honor of tonight's game, I decided to keep it simple and allow myself a cheat day (every sport event in our home is a reason to eat calorie busting meals)! 

My extreme nachos are "extremely" easy to make and the flavor is overwhelmingly delicious. It actually shocks me that I ever spend money on nachos in restos. There is always something missing! They are either too soggy, not enough cheese, no spice, and might I say, overly priced! The bonus of making these crunchy satisfying apps at home is the improvise factor. You can add whatever you please and make these as ex-treme as you want. Most important, do not forget the sour cream! GO CAPS GO!
