The Judge Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels, then crumble it into small pieces.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

3. 3

   Cook Ground Beef

   Add the ground beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook until the beef is browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

4. 4

   Add Garlic and Spices

   Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

5. 5

   Incorporate Tomato Sauce

   Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes until heated through.

6. 6

   Prepare Toppings

   While the beef mixture simmers, prepare the toppings by shredding the cheddar cheese and getting the sour cream ready.

7. 7

   Serve

   To serve, layer the tortilla chips on a plate, spoon the beef mixture over the chips, and top with crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
