Yes, this recipe would be perfect to make ahead of time. When we make taco meat, we always double the recipe so we can freeze it. If you are going camping or making this for a weeknight meal, it will save you a step having the meat already prepared.
Thaw the meat and prepare the nachos as directed. Save time and money and prepare you meat ahead of time. Add your favorite toppings for an easy weeknight dinner.
