Vikings' big game calls for big nachos--here are 4 tasty variations

Asian nachos

​The Cowboys are coming, are your apps ready? For the big game this weekend, you can make normal nachos or you can try these four variations: Indian Nachos, French Nachos, Asian Nachos, and Breakfast Nachos. Impress your friends, it may be the best part of the game.

I demonstrated all four recipes on Twin Cities Live earlier this month.

Here are the written recipes. Remember, put down a layer of chips first, then the cheese. Melt the cheese at 400 degrees, then add the toppings and a little more cheese and put it back in under the broiler just for a few seconds until hot.

Breakfast Nachos:
Layer tortilla chips on large oven-safe dish, cover with shredded cheese. 
Place in oven at 400 until cheese melts. 
Remove and sprinkle with scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, and salsa. 
Place under the broiler until cheese just starts to bubble.
 

Asian Nachos:
Layer rice chips on large oven-safe dish and cover with shredded cheese or fresh mozzarella chunks. 
Place in oven until cheese melts. 
Remove and sprinkle with sprouts, green onions, and chicken, then drizzle with peanut sauce and teriyaki sauce.
 Place under the broiler until cheese just starts to bubble.
 
French nachos:
Layer Kettle potato chips on large oven-safe dish and cover with strips of Swiss cheese, leaving some holes between cheese pieces. 
Place in oven at 400 until cheese starts to melt. 
Remove and sprinkle with shrimp, bay scallops, bacon pieces, and caramelized onions
, then drizzle with blue cheese dressing. 
Place under broiler until cheese just starts to melt. 
For more flavor, sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese.
 
Indian Nachos:
1 package of papadums

1 box Tandor Chef Chicken Curry 
Microwave papadums one at a time until they fluff up, around 40 seconds. Break several papadums into pieces and layer on oven-safe dish and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Place in oven until cheese starts to melt.
 Microwave Tandor Chef Chicken Curry according to package directions. 
Remove and sprinkle with green onions, chicken curry, and chopped pecans. Place under broiler until cheese just starts to melt. Optional: Add crumbled paneer to cheese mixture.

Cook well, and go Vikes,
