  • 1 cup of finely chopped red onion
  • 3 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese

I make my nachos almost exactly like this..with the exception of the Thousand Island dressing (love that addition). Sometimes I use a sausage and brown beef combination and cheez whiz. I'm going to try it your way next time. Thanks for posting.
