Game Day Nachos

Football is back! It’s always fun when football season starts, because it’s a sign that the seasons are changing. One of our favorite traditions this time of year is Football Sunday, where our families all get together and watch our favorite NFL teams play. We are big Chargers and Cowboys fans, so we usually plan to watch together (if our schedule and William’s football schedule allow!).

Since we are a large crowd to feed (there are 9 of us!), we like to make things that can feed a large group, but also won’t bust the budget. These Game Day nachos are amazing and a hit with everyone! We found all the ingredients at Walmart, using Walmart’s affordable private label brands. With Walmart’s private label brands, we were able to find the quality that we always look for, and so many organic options, which is a big plus for us. By switching to Walmart private label brands, we’re able to feed our group and save money!

Game Day Nachos

  • Line a large baking sheet with foil
  • Cook ground beef with taco seasoning
  • Line a large baking sheet with foil and cover the baking sheet with tortilla chips
  • Add shredded cheese to cover the chips (we used organic sharp cheddar)
  • Heat refried beans in a pan to soften
  • Add dollops of beans, ground beef and corn on top of cheese
  • Top with some more shredded cheese
  • Heat under broil setting until cheese has melted and chips are starting to brown slightly
  • Once the nachos are out of the oven, add the other toppings. We like to use jalapeños, pickled jalapeños, chopped tomatoes, sliced green onions, cilantro, salsa, sour cream and avocado. You really can use anything that sounds good to you!

We like to pile the nachos on a big platter and let everyone serve themselves. So fun, easy and yummy!

When planning the boys’ birthday parties, we love to give them a say in the theme and colors. Henry decided a karate party would be fun and that’s what we went with! It was a little tricky thinking about how we would make a karate party “cute”, but Sequins and Lipstick came through, as always. Henry’s favorite color is orange, with green a close runner-up, so we decided to use a bright green with some orange accents for his invitation and party goods. A great time was had by all, especially the birthday boy, whom we are sure could not possibly have had more fun than he did!

Invitation

I was having trouble finding an invitation that I liked, so I enlisted the help of Sequins and Lipstick. We went with a karate belt invitation in Henry’s favorite colors and it turned out so cute!

Food/Drinks

One of Henry’s favorite foods is pizza and that is what he wanted to have at his party! I served pizza, along with pouches for the kids. We served a Caesar salad to go along with the pizza for the adults. We had wine and beer, and Caleb made everyone’s favorite margaritas – which are always a hit!

Activities

Henry loves karate, so we had his karate coach come to the house to teach some karate moves, play games and at the end everyone learned how to chop wood with their hands! Since Henry was the birthday boy, he got to chop wood with his hand, elbow, knee and foot. That was the biggest hit of the party!

We always have a bounce house for kids who may not like the activity and we usually have a wide range of kids – siblings of Henry’s friends, neighbors, etc!

Decor

Continuing with the theme, we had cups, napkins, placemats and party favor tags all made to coordinate with the karate belt invitations that Sequins & Lipstick created. Everything turned out so cute and the birthday boy fully approved!

We always use Lushra for balloons. They do such a good job coordinating colors, always adding the perfect touch! Lushra also made a jumbo balloon for Henry to be surprised with on his birthday morning, with a custom design on the front. Lushra made it so easy to personalize the balloon for him and he loved it!

What We Wore

Henry’s favorite colors are orange and green, so the party colors were mostly green with some orange accents. We coordinated the boys’ looks and ours in that same color palette. The boys wore white polos with green gingham shorts, and we wore breezy maxi dresses in green floral and multi-colored floral. It is still hot in Texas in September, so we kept that in mind when choosing our outfits!

Stia, Jean and Katherine
