Corned Beef Brisket Nachos

Sheet pan nachos are always a good idea! You really can get creative and use many different ingredients or anything you’d like. Start with a layer of nacho chips, sprinkle bits of any type of meat (or meatless), then the cheese! After all the cheese melts and it’s out of the oven is when you can start loading on all your favorite, fresh ingredients. I figured for a St. Patty’s Day verison, potato chips would be fitting. Rather than opening a bag of potato chips, I simply sliced fresh potatoes and baked them in the oven to make my own. You can totally skip that part and just get right to it. “Irish” nachos wouldn’t be complete without corned beef brisket. You can cook your own at home or for a super easy option, grab some at the deli counter.

corned beef brisket nachos

Ingredients:

  • 3 russet potatoes, thinly sliced ¼ inch pieces OR bag of potato chips

    • Olive oil

    • Salt and pepper

  • ½ lb. (or 1-2 cups) corned beef (from deli or leftover), chopped in pieces

  • 1 cup thousand island dressing

  • 1 cup sauerkraut 

  • ½ cup carrots, shredded

  • ½ - 1 cup Irish cheddar cheese, shredded

  • Fresh chives, chopped 

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425. 

  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then lay out potato chips in an even layer. Set aside. -OR- If choosing to bake your own potato slices: clean and cut potatoes into ¼ inch slices. Toss in a few tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss to coat all over then place on a lined baking sheet in an even layer (don’t overlap the potatoes). Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip potatoes if needed to be tossed, then sprinkle shredded carrots over top. Bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.

  3. Sprinkle evenly all over with corned beef pieces and cheese, then bake for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove from the oven then garnish by evenly sprinkling sauerkraut all over then chopped chives and a drizzle of thousand island dressing.

  4. Use a spatula to shovel out the potatoes to serve hot with a side of extra dressing that’s leftover. Use a fork to dive in!
