Animal Style Pickle Walking Nachos

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and jammy, about 10-15 minutes.

While the onions cook, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 1 tbsp ketchup, 1 tsp yellow mustard, and pickle brine. Stir in about half of the chopped dill pickles. Set aside.

In a separate large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Season the cooked beef with the remaining 1 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp yellow mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Carefully cut the potato chip bag open along one of the long sides to create a boat.

Layer the seasoned ground beef over the chips in the bag.

Top the beef with the American cheese slices, followed by the caramelized onions and the remaining chopped pickles.

Drizzle the prepared pickle sauce over everything.

Garnish with fresh dill, if using, and serve immediately.
