Sloppy Joe Nachos

February 4, 2016

You are going to LOVE this twist on a traditional nacho recipe, Sloppy Joe Nachos are sweet, salty and slightly spicy. Tortilla chips are topped with sharp cheddar cheese, meaty sloppy joe’s, a little tobasco sour cream, crunchy lettuce, spicy jalapeños and my favorite, bread and butter pickles!

Sloppy Joe Nachos | www.stuckonsweet.comWell aren’t these kind of fun? We absolutely love Sloppy Joe’s in our house. I grew up eating Sloppy Joe’s at my grandparents house in Sibley Iowa and continue that tradition today. I make them all the time because they’re so simple to make and they freeze well. I will never forgot sitting in my grandparents kitchen with a big pot of sloppy joe’s in the center with buttery buns, potato chips, homemade pickles,  potato salad and fresh cut fruit. The smell and taste remind me of my sweet Grandma and Grandpa. Those were seriously the good days.

Sloppy Joe Nachos | www.stuckonsweet.comSo why nachos? You can thank Vin for this recipe. A few months back he decided to make nachos out of Sloppy Joe’s and they were so good. I figured with the big game around the corner that I would jazz it up a bit and share it with you. What do you think? Kind of fun and different right?

You can’t go wrong with this recipe – if you don’t like too much spice, purchase mild jalapeños or remove them altogether. Otherwise, this recipe is seriously a winner. You can double the Sloppy Joe recipe and freeze the leftovers for later – wahoo!
