This upgraded twist on traditional nachos combines crispy French fries, creamy Guinness gravy, and savory toppings to create a hearty appetizer that’s perfect for any occasion.

Instructions

  • Step 1: Burning the Hickory Pellets, preheat recteq to 325°F.
  • Step 2: Carefully core cabbage using Chef's Knife. Discard Core, but keep the end.
  • Step 3: Place butter in cabbage cavity and season with Ben’s Heffer Dust.
  • Step 4: Cover butter with cap and place cabbage in recteq. Cook cabbage 2-3 hours until tender. Remove and set aside.
  • Step 5: Turn recteq to 425°F and add a cast iron skillet inside. 
  • Step 6: Spread fries evenly onto 18 inch x 26 inch baking sheet. Season with Ben's Heffer Dust and place in recteq. Cook 20-25 minutes until golden brown. 
  • Step 7: While fries are cooking make the Guinness gravy. Add butter to skillet, once melted combine flour to create roux. Cook roux until slightly browned. Stirring frequently. 
  • Step 8: Gently add room temperature Guinness and slowly stir. Once combined, add broth and slowly stir to combine. Once combined, cook 5-10 minutes until desired consistency is reached. Remove from recteq. 
  • Step 9: Build your nachos in a large platter. Start with French fries seasoned with Ben’s Heffer Dust, 6 oz shredded Irish cheddar, chopped cabbage or sauerkraut, shredded leftover corned beef, 6 oz shredded Irish cheddar, and top with gravy.
