I absolutely love nachos but hate the guilt that can come after eating them. That’s why I decided to make Macho Nachos, which are bell pepper nachos located in my men’s health cookbook, Guys Guide to Eating Well.

So, what is a Bell Pepper Nachos you ask? They are nachos where instead of using chips you use squares of bell peppers. That’s right! This is one of those bell pepper recipes that adds a nutritious twist to such a classic! Actually, healthy beef recipes can also be the perfect get-together party food that all of your family and friends will love. So what are you waiting for?! Get your ingredients together and make my easy bell pepper nachos. You won’t regret it.
