Dare I admit that this is one of those meals that I would plop right onto the table and let the kids dig from the dish. (Yes, I’d let it cool a bit so the glass dish isn’t hot to the touch. And yes, I’d help my younger toddler.)
But I know we all have ‘those’ afternoons where you just want to drop dinner on the table and let the big kids dig for themselves.
Well, this is the dish for you.
And when you’re having one of those days where even plating the food might send you into a ‘busy mommy tailspin’ – don’t fret. Let them dig for their own nachos.
No judgement here.
Add this one to your next “Taco Tuesday” night!
