04 - Place one-third of tortilla chips in the bottom of prepared Bundt pan. Top with one-third of beef-bean mixture and one-third of both shredded cheeses.
05 - Repeat layering process two more times, finishing with remaining cheese on top as the final layer.
06 - Bake in center of oven for 15–18 minutes until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
07 - Remove from oven and let cool 3–5 minutes. Carefully invert Bundt pan onto serving platter to release the nacho ring.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The ring shape means everyone gets equal access to the cheesy edges, no more fighting over the best parts
- Layers stay warm and melty throughout the whole party thanks to that clever Bundt pan insulation
- You can prep everything ahead and bake when guests arrive, making you look effortless
02 -
- Letting the nachos rest for those few minutes before flipping is what keeps the whole thing from collapsing into a pile
- Greasing every curve of the Bundt pan thoroughly is non-negotiable or you will be serving chip scramble instead of a ring
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients melt more evenly, so take your cheese out of the fridge while you prep everything else
- A silicone brush helps get nonstick spray into all the Bundt pan crevices better than your fingers can
