Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 bag favorite potato chips
  • 2 slices yellow American cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped pickles
  • 1 tablespoon chopped dill
  • 3 tablespoons mayo
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon pickle brine, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pickles
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of paprika

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and sauté until soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  2. Add ground beef to the same skillet and cook until browned, crumbly, and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper with a splash of water. Allow to cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
  3. Lay potato chip bag on a work surface. Use a sharp knife to carefully poke a hole in the center. Cut bag  in criss-cross sections as shown. Fold open flaps to open up the bag to the chips.
  4. Arrange hot beef on top of the chips. Layer American cheese, caramelized onions and 1/4 cup chopped pickles on top.
  5. Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle brine, 2 tablespoons chopped pickles, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and paprika in a small bowl for the sauce. Drizzle sauce over walking nachos. Garnish with fresh dill and enjoy!
