For many, the idea of cooking gourmet meals on a beach seems like a daunting task. However, with the right equipment and a simple recipe, even the busiest parent can whip up a delightful meal that everyone will enjoy. Today, we’re diving into a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to make anywhere, anytime: Beef Nachos!
Imagine a sunny winter day in Queensland, where the cool weather doesn’t hinder the fun of a beach trip. With a trusty Wanderer cart filled with essentials like an Earth by Wanderer cooler bag, camp chairs, and a portable burner, you’re set for an outdoor culinary adventure.
Ingredients: – Spring onions – 1 onion – Olive oil spray – 500g beef mince – Seasonings (salt, pepper, taco seasoning) – Corn chips – Grated cheese
Steps: 1. Prep the Garnish: Start by chopping the spring onions. Use a sharp knife and keep those knuckles tight to avoid accidents. Peel and chop the onion, aiming to minimize tears.
2. Cook the Onions: Set up your camp stove and spray some olive oil into the pan. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s soft and browned.
3. Brown the Beef: Add the beef mince and seasonings to the pan. Cook until the beef is thoroughly browned. This step is crucial for building the flavour base of your nachos. Let a little one do a taste test to ensure it’s seasoned just right.
4. Assemble the Nachos: Spread the corn chips in the pan over the cooked beef mixture. Sprinkle generously with grated cheese. Let the cheese melt around the edges and bottom of the pan for a gooey, delicious treat.
5. Final Touches: To get that perfect melt on top, use a handy kitchen torch or cover the pan briefly to create an oven-like effect. Watch as the cheese bubbles and browns beautifully.
6. Enjoy: Serve the nachos straight from the pan. They are easy to eat and incredibly satisfying, even for kids missing their front teeth!
Cooking on the beach doesn’t have to be complicated. With minimal preparation and a few essential tools, you can create a delicious meal that brings smiles to all. So, pack your gear, head to the nearest beach, and explore the great outdoors with a tasty plate of beef nachos.
