When I have friends and family over to BBQ, I want to eliminate as many trips to the kitchen as possible. The more I can enjoy the sunshine outside with my friends, the better. But there are a lot of snacks that I normally prepare in the oven or on the stove, so I decided to venture out and start making my go-to-oven-recipes on the grill. And with much success! Loaded nachos is a must when I have people over, so I decided to prepare this delicious snack on the grill. I used Northwest Blend smoking chips to season the chips with a natural smoke flavor and it turned out amazing!
