It was a quasi-landmark moment when Dave and I stopped making our own separate plates of nachos and baked a whole panful in the oven. One, making them individually in the microwave is never as good of a texture as fresh from the oven! And two, it just feels more homemade, romantic, and unified this way. Food is meant to be communal and even if it’s just with some chips & cheddar (or in this recipe, much more!), I like making the effort to do it every night.
